You should read the mail archives about this issue if you haven't already. As a package provider, gem is available but fairly basic. Some folks have rolled their own implementations using exec or define. I think language-specific package providers in general have a long way until maturity. Many are not fully-baked (cpan) and some aren't even in the oven yet (pecl). So be happy that gem package provider is there at all and if it doesn't suit your needs you have the options of using exec, define or better yet, learn ruby hack the package provider and send in your patches :) -- Mark Foster - Sr. Systems Engineer - BitPusher, LLC We push your bits so you don't have to! http://www.bitpusher.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
