Puppet users - Mar 2011 - How do you distribute ruby-augeas for ruby-entreprise?

We are using ruby-entreprise, instead of redhat''s default ruby.... I
was trying to deploy the needed gem using:

/opt/ruby-enterprise/bin/gem install  --no-rdoc --no-ri
/tmp/ruby-augeas-0.3.0.gem

But found out this would require gcc to be installed!

How can I preb-build this gem to remove the need for gcc on the nodes?

is there an option of the gem command to generate a distributable form?

Thanks a lot.
Mohamed.

Why not build REE-specific rubygem-$GEM RPMs?

You could use gem2rpm to create spec files and update ''ruby'',
''gem''
with ''/opt/ruby-enterprise/bin/ruby'',
''/opt/ruby-enterprise/bin/gem''
in the spec file (or even make a default gem2rpm template with that)
(customise as much as you want) and build your RPMs.

I was hoping for one magic command, like :

/opt/ruby-enterprise/bin/gem rebuild-gem  --no-rdoc --no-ri
/tmp/ruby-augeas-0.3.0.gem

I guess I have to learn and do it myself. thanks a lot for the tips and refs.

Mohamed.
