[Puppet-users] Mac OS X - Ruby 1.8.5 Distribution Package (ARD ready)

[Jeff McCune]

Hi,

I just compiled and packaged Universal Binaries of Ruby 1.8.5

It's available at:
  ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/osx/pkgs/unix/Ruby-1.8.5-1-ub.mpkg.dmg

This distribution mpkg contains:
   GNU Readline 5.1 (Universal Binary)
   Ruby 1.8.5       (Universal Binary)
   Ruby Gems 0.9.0  (Universal Binary)

Each component was compiled with --prefix=/usr/local, the packages 
installs into /usr/local

If you'd like to install the components discretely:
  ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/osx/pkgs/unix/readline-5.1.0-2-ub.pkg.dmg
  ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/osx/pkgs/unix/ruby-1.8.5-1-ub.pkg.dmg
  ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/osx/pkgs/unix/rubygems-0.9.0-1-ub.pkg.dmg

The packages do not update your PATH variable, so you'll need to 
manually add /usr/local/bin to your PATH.
   export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Make PATH changes permanent by editing ~/.bashrc or /etc/bashrc to 
include the above line and restart your shells.

WARNING: I'm not sure if these packages will conflict or break when 
installed over top of the existing RubyUniversal 1.8.4 package from 
http://www.infurious.com/downloads/ which you may have already installed.

Please provide feedback.  I haven't done much testing on these packages, 
but I've ensured this doesn't wipe the hard disk or anything stupid like 
that.  Permissions should be sane, and nothing should be installed 
world-writable.

I'm deploying Ruby 1.8.5 to run the Puppet site configuration tool from 
http://www.reductivelabs.com/
