vmstat gem required ? #33

Closed dmsimard closed 8 years ago

dmsimard commented 8 years ago

I didn't need to install the vmstat gem manually until now. Just installing this plugin worked by itself.

What changed ? Why can't the plugin installation pull the vmstat gem by itself if it is now required ?

Hi @dmsimard, the vmstat gem was removed as a dependency so the plugin installation doesn't fail if gcc isn't installed. Check out the README for more info.

How does this make sense ? The plugin doesn't work if the vmstat gem isn't installed. So, great, now you can install it if gcc isn't installed but it still won't work because vmstat is required.
