[Puppet Users] Clarification Request: The need for ruby 1.8.7 on a RHEL/CentOS 5 Puppet Master
I am stuck on RHEL 5 for the moment, and I am trying to set up a Puppet 2.7.x Master. From this post ( http://www.mail-archive.com/puppet-users@googlegroups.com/msg27199.html ), I got the impression that I needed ruby 1.8.7. I tried to install passenger using the stealthymonkeys.com repo and it complained that it wants ruby 1.8.5 exactly (Processing Dependency: ruby = 1.8.5 for package: rubygem-passenger-native-libs). Looking back at the referenced mailing list item, it says that ruby 1.8.7 is needed for Dashboard and Foreman. I am not using either of those. Just plain old puppet with a dash of hiera. The Question: Is ruby 1.8.5 OK to use with puppet 2.7.x ? Thanks. “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Clarification Request: The need for ruby 1.8.7 on a RHEL/CentOS 5 Puppet Master
Yes, 1.8.5 will work with puppet 2.7.x. Here is a quick link to a supported ruby versions chart (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/platforms.html#ruby-versions). 1.8.7 is better for various reasons, but 1.8.5 will work. HTH.

Re: [Puppet Users] Clarification Request: The need for ruby 1.8.7 on a RHEL/CentOS 5 Puppet Master
Thanks for the pointer, Eric, but I was able to build my own ruby 1.8.7 from the rbel.frameos.org source RPM The problem is that it won''t play nice with the other pieces I want to use. Maybe I could build passenger from source as well, but I''d rather work from binary RPM''s as much as possible.

Re: [Puppet Users] Clarification Request: The need for ruby 1.8.7 on a RHEL/CentOS 5 Puppet Master
You can quite easily compile 1.8.7 for rhel5, then use the SRPMs from Stealthmonkeys and get a working system. I''ve done it several times and for several different sites. Google "puppet ruby 1.8.7 el5 dashboard" and you''ll find my post about how to do it. One change: when you grab the spec file from the frameos site, edit it to the latest ruby release version. No other changes required, just the patchlevel in the spec file.

Re: [Puppet Users] Clarification Request: The need for ruby 1.8.7 on a RHEL/CentOS 5 Puppet Master
I don''t recommend this for a large number of reasons, including the need to source in a large number of japanese and tcl/tk libraries, and a huge level of scratch-patchiness in the srpm. The frameos spec file uses a very small number of patches that are clear and easy to read, and work perfectly.

Puppet will work with 1.8.5. It is passenger that requires 1.8.7, specifically rack.
