I have an old fedora 9 machine running ruby 1.9.2-p290, that I'd like to install puppet on to run as a master. In the documentation it says that installing from rubygems is not recommended. Is there are particular reason why its not recommended? Installing from source is also not recommended, is that a better/worse/same alternative?
If you're dead set on using this box as a Puppet master, I'd build it all within RVM with Ruby 1.8.7 or 1.9.3 if Puppet 3.x and execute it inside Passenger/Rack. Should provide isolation from the Ruby you've compiled, 1.9.2, and let you use gems locally as well. You'd still have to figure out how to run the agent, but the master should work.
Caveat to the above is that it's non trivial to build. Ramin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
