I've always used distribution packages, but now I need to use
puppet_decrypt which is not supported by ruby 1.8.7
Quick question though... I've been looking in the documentation and I
haven't found any note stating that installing puppet through gem is not
recommended, neither using ruby > 1.8.7
RVM is just a wrapper to install ruby, so let just forget about it...
Unfortunatelly ruby 2.0 is not available on Ubuntu 12.04 , so is either
using rvm or compile it myself
Apart from that, bundlling puppetdb-terminus in a gem should be really easy
and would allow full flexibility to be installed along puppet as gem on
distributions where there are no packages available.
