Add support for mixed mode installations #10

Closed kernow closed 11 years ago

kernow commented 11 years ago

Mixed mode installations need to use the system locations for the rvm command and the user location for wrapped commands. What do you think about this for adding support for mixed mode installs?

I was using RVM for a while and never saw such mixed installations in production. Not sure if it's good practice at all.

There is a rather specific use case for this setup where most users of the server are not allowed to install rubies but can install gems. Only privileged users can install rubies. It's a feature of rvm so I'd argue it should be supported by the gem as it doesn't currently work with a mixed mode installation.

RVM mixed mode is just a system installation with extra settings in ~/.rvmrc, I do encourage it in some cases when there is a need to separate management of ruby from application deploy (see #9).
