I don't see these negatives at all. I think having puppet decoupled is a good thing - for reliability, management and freeing us from "ruby hell". I can't see an AIO package altering the native behavior of the OS or system rubbies either..
Since it is OSS as well, is there a reason you wouldn't be able to pull down the git repo and update ruby according to your own needs? my assumption is that its a LOT easier to upgrade puppet ruby if it is indeed decoupled from system ruby or ruby used by apps on the platform your trying to manage. -byron On Thursday, December 11, 2014 3:53:15 PM UTC-6, John Bollinger wrote: > > > > On Thursday, December 11, 2014 3:34:17 PM UTC-6, John Bollinger wrote: >> >> >> If I cannot install Puppet into a Ruby installation of my choice (of >> sufficiently recent version) and have it work correctly, or if its >> installation alters the behavior of other software relying on that Ruby, >> then I do not foresee updating until I or someone else can fix those >> problems.
