rubygems is not a valid package for ubuntu 14.04
Closed this issue · 3 comments
When using this role on ubuntu 14.04 the rubygems package is not valid: see http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=rubygems
The correct package seems to be rubygems1.9.1 which works from 10.04, 12.04 & 14.04
Ideally rubygems would be installed from github or .tar.gz as suggested on the website:
https://rubygems.org/pages/download
This would ensure the latest stable rubygems which is 2.4 rather than the old versions installed through apt
The official Ubuntu Ruby installation guide shows rubygems as the correct package to install, and installing the version-specific package breaks this role's idempotence.
Since the recommended package for Ubuntu 14.04 is different, I've decided to go the route of #17 instead.
Thanks for pointing this out! I don't yet have an Ubuntu 14.04 server running Ruby, but now I know it'll work when installing via apt :)
Awesome, no problem and thanks for fixing.
You're welcome! Please let me know if you have any other trouble with the role on 14.04.
