Just an update. This got to really nagging me, and I wound up digging into the rubygems code a little to see if there was a quick way to patch the platform-specific gem selection. Turns out there is: http://pastie.caboo.se/73171
Apply with: patch /root/platform_gems.patch /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ remote_installer.rb Probably not a great way to do it, but it'll hold us over until rubygems itself has this ability. This hard-codes to ruby as the platform since that's all we use anyway, but it'd be pretty trivial to change the code to check & select instead - crayz On Jun 4, 10:03 am, crayz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anyone know of a way to automate gem installation/deployment?
