Puppet module to install rvm in a per user basis

For an isolated install within a user's $HOME, not for root. Recomended by wayneeseguin in https://rvm.io/rvm/install

Not really tested so far. For me it works in ubuntu 12.04LTS. Used in puppet 2.7 but it should also work in recent versions

If you are planning of using this for a ruby on rails with capistrano probably will be a better idea to use the rvm/capistrano plugin along capistrano

Install rvm in jhondoe user

It won't install any ruby, just rvm. NOTE: User jhondoe will be created if doesn't exist

rvm::rvmuser{"jhondoe":} # Install stable version of rvm for the user jhondoe, creates user if inexistent

Install rvm in jhondoe user and also install ruby version 2.0.0-head

Installing and compilling any ruby version can take a while (>400seconds?) The ruby version will be the default for this user

rvm::rvmuser{"jhondoe":
  installdefaultruby => "2.0.0-head", # Optional Indicates the version that will be
     #installed. Find available ruby versions with $rvm list known
  homeuser => "/home/jhondoe", #defaults to /home/jhondoe(If jhondoe is the provided user)
}

Install ruby version 2.0.0-head and make it as default ruby version

rvm::installruby{"install-ruby-to-jhondoe":
  user => 'jhondoe', #required
  rubyversion => "2.0.0-head", #required
  makedefault => true, #defaults to false
  homeuser = "/home/jhondoe", # Optional, defaults to /home/$user
  extraflags  => "--verify-downloads 1", #Optional, defaults to undef
}

Create a new gemset called gemsetname

rvm::creategemset{"gemsetname":
  user => "jhondoe", # user param is required
  rubyversion => "2.0.0", # Ruby version is required
  homeuser = "/home/jhondoe", # Optional, defaults to /home/$user
}

Remember that a gemset is usually used to switch to a ruby version and a set of gems. In a directory, if you write a file called .ruby-gemset with the content "gemsetname" and a file called .ruby-version with the content "ruby-1.9.3-p374" rvm will automatically switch to that ruby version with the gemset called 'gemsetname' when you enter in that dir.
