Thanks for the pointer, Eric, but I was able to build my own ruby 1.8.7 from the rbel.frameos.org source RPM
The problem is that it won't play nice with the other pieces I want to use. Maybe I could build passenger from source as well, but I'd rather work from binary RPM's as much as possible. If puppet won't break when I back down to ruby 1.8.5, that is my main concern. “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) ----- Eric Shamow <e...@puppetlabs.com> wrote: > Also as a note, there are (unofficial, but maintained by the CentOS > maintainer, Karanbir Singh) packages for RHEL 5 at: > > http://centos.karan.org/el5/ruby187/ > > I've used these in production with much success. > > -Eric > > > On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 10:06 AM, Matthaus Litteken <matth...@puppetlabs.com > > wrote: > > > Yes, 1.8.5 will work with puppet 2.7.x.
