Hey Jon, The Puppet package you install from yum will be tied to the system's version of Ruby, and I wouldn't recommend uninstall that (i.e. Ruby).
If you're interested in running Puppet on a newer version of Ruby check out my puppet_stack module: https://forge.puppetlabs.com/Ginja/puppet_stack https://github.com/Ginja/puppet_stack There's a lot of documentation, but if you have any questions feel free to ask (I also recommend to use the release-1.1.0 branch, soon to be pushed to the forge). We're currently wrapping up our Puppet 3 infrastructure, which is built the following: RVM Ruby 2.0.0 (installed from RVM) Puppet 3.7.x gem (and its dependencies) Passenger gem (compiled against Ruby 2.0.0) It's running pretty well, certainly better than our Puppet 2 implementation. -Riley ----- Original Message ----- | From: "JonY" <ethrbu...@gmail.com> | To: puppet-users@googlegroups.com | Sent: Thursday, 30 October, 2014 04:43:36 | Subject: [Puppet Users] Upgrading ruby to 2.1.x - paranoid question | Would like to upgrade Ruby to the latest.
