17:33 <ori-l> I wonder if that's because it was an existing VM on which he has
previously used the browsertest role
17:33 <ori-l> which (among other things) sets ruby 1.9 as the system default
ruby
17:33 <superm401> ori-l, probably
17:33 <superm401> You're not using rvm?
17:34 <ori-l> no. it might be a good idea to set the system ruby to 1.9 by
default, for the sake of consistency and predictability
17:34 <ori-l> that's a weird and surprising side-effect for a role to have
17:34 <superm401> ori-l, definitely.
17:34 <superm401> If everything supports Ruby 1.9, might as well go for it.
17:35 <ori-l> well, but IIRC nothing other than browsertests depends on ruby
1.9, and it requires downloading a bunch of packages
17:35 <ori-l> so i was hoping to spare users that don't want/need browsertests
the cost of the download
17:36 <ori-l> it's a bug either way; if we keep it specific to browsertests,
the ruby setting should be specific to browsertests; if general, then general.
i'll file a bug.
