Closes #4

migurski commented 10 years ago

Now I'm debugging my own bad chef recipes. Planning to merge.

migurski commented 10 years ago

The short version is that I have no idea how RVM is supposed to work when globally installed on a system.

ajb commented 10 years ago

Awesome, don't worry about the delay, we're all busy here too :)

And yeah, I have no idea how RVM is supposed to work, apparently it consists of 50,000 lines of bash scripts. I just brew install and bask in my ignorance.

migurski commented 10 years ago

Yeah, I've said it before that the Ruby community’s enthusiastic acceptance of completely insane shell tricks is baffling. Anyway I've made some progress; hope to merge up soon.

ajb commented 10 years ago

Anything I can do to help get this merged?

migurski commented 9 years ago

Hey, thanks for following up! I've finally had a chance to catch up on some papercuts in this project. I remain pretty flummoxed by RVM on Linux, all the way down to questioning why I'd want my Ruby versions managed in the first place and can there just please be one that works from Apt. None of the Ruby people I've talked to have a clue how any of this stuff works either; they just brew install and pray like you and me. I'm beginning to doubt the existence of Ruby experts altogether.

I seem to still be using Ruby 1.8 on the Ubuntu server where Jekit lives. Chef-RVM appears promising, but I'm not making heads or tails of the installation guide.

So, I might put this down for a while again.

Two bits of input from Drew:

“Unfortunately some Linux packages still depend on Ruby 1.8. Rbenv and Chruby are lighter alternatives to RVM (neither replace cd).” (tweet)
“Or if you want to stay in Ubuntu package land, these are a little funky but do work: http://brightbox.com/docs/ruby/ubuntu/ …” (tweet)

Yeah, I finally switched from RVM to rbenv on my development machine. Feels good. No Chef experience here either, though.

I ended up using the Ruby 1.9.3 & Apt route from @gravitystorm, merged now.

ajb commented 9 years ago

Totally badass, thanks @migurski!
