Description
Compiles and installs Ruby and RubyGems from source at /usr by default. You
can customise the prefix path.
Include this cookbook's default recipe in order to find ruby and gems in
the default path, /usr/bin. The cookbook also sets up the default gem binary
for all packages that do not specify a gem binary. The installed Ruby therefore
becomes the default Ruby virtual machine for cookbook gems.
For build speed, the cookbook does not install Ruby documentation.
Requirements
Your box needs build essentials.
Attributes
Defaults as follows. These are the latest stable build versions at the time of
writing. The Ruby prefix defines where to install the binaries, including the
gem binary. Make options specify 10 parallel build jobs. This makes better
use of available compute cycles when compiling the sources.
default['ruby']['version'] = '1.9.3-p385'
default['ruby']['checksum'] = '4b15df007f5935ec9696d427d8d6265b121d944d237a2342d5beeeba9b8309d0'
default['ruby']['prefix'] = '/usr'
default['ruby']['make_opts'] = '-j10'
default['rubygems']['version'] = '1.8.25'
default['rubygems']['checksum'] = '649348ddf8746887fb1ee79c55dc508f0627d3d0bfa7fcdbcd4edb24908f1cc8'
Usage
Simply include the default recipe.
