You specifically want the gems installed as that user? Hmm. That's a
bit harder; we don't do much of that right now.
However, you should be able to do something like (haven't tested this,
but it might work):
create a subclass of the existing gem provider:
...provides(:railsgem) do
# Then change the commands to use:
commands :gem => "/my/wierd/gem/path", ...
# Override the created methods to use a special user:
def gem(command)
Puppet::Util::SUIDManager.asuser("rails") do
super
end
end
The 'super' might not work correctly because of how the methods are
added; you might need to reimplement the command execution, just do
'execute(command)'. See provider.rb, all of the different 'command'
methods.
If you have further questions, please post them to the -dev list.
