Ignore this last one, I wrote it at the same time you wrote your comment...
I understand and it makes sense.
Thanks for your help and I'll evaluate the strategy... I still need
puppet_decrypt so I really need to figure how to integrate ruby 2.0.0 on
ubutu 12.04 plus puppet. We use RVM for the rest of our ruby apps and
that's why I thought on using it , but I see the cons as well.
Thanks for all your help!
