Description

Cookbook that will install alternate system ruby packages from various sources.

Requirements

Platform

Ubuntu (10.04+)

Cookbooks

apt(2.0.0+) - may well work with others, but only tested starting with this version

Attributes

Attributes are under the node[:alternate_ruby] namespace.

node[:alternate_ruby][:source] - source from which to install ruby
node[:alternate_ruby][:gem_bin_dir] - bin dir gem binaries are installed in
node['alternate_ruby']['brightbox_repo'] - repo URL
node['alternate_ruby']['brightbox_key'] - key fingerprint for repo signing key
node['alternate_ruby']['brightbox_keyserver'] - keyserver to pull signing key for repo
node['alternate_ruby']['brightbox_components'] - components to configure in apt sources.list
node['alternate_ruby']['brightbox_package'] - name of the package to install

Recipes

default

Calls the recipe to install ruby from the chosen source. By default the source is 'brightbox'.

brightbox

Installs a newer version of ruby 1.9.3 from the brightbox apt repository. The patch level will change over time, so if you want to ensure a specific patch you will need to duplicate the repository and change the attributes to point at your mirrored repo.

Usage

Set node[:alternate_ruby][:source] to the source from which ruby will be installed and add the cookbook to the runlist. Default source is brightbox.
