/puppet-gems1.3.1.tgz

gets gems from rubyforge, just because it can

Right now this is just one class, the puppetized idempotent version of the following:

cd /usr/local/src/
sudo wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/38646/rubygems-1.3.1.tgz
sudo tar -xzf rubygems-1.3.1.tgz
cd rubygems-1.3.1
sudo ruby setup.rb
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/gem

Use it at your own peril
