PROFIT!
- Builds
- Installs
- Overwrites/upgrades your currently installed ruby package (DANGEROUS)
- Split packages into ruby-libs, ruby-devel, etc (looking for help here)
- Install alongside Ruby 1.8.x
Tested working (as sane as I could test for) on:
- CentOS 6.1 x86_64
- CentOS 6.2 i686
- CentOS 5.7 x86_64
This should on RHEL, though. Let me know if it doesn't.
- Working off from https://github.com/imeyer/ruby-1.9.2-rpm. Usual disclaimers apply.
- If you need YAML support, you will need to have libyaml installed. If you like to build your own, you can use my spec at https://github.com/rilindo/rpms/tree/master/specs/libyaml. In the future, I'll add that as a requirement.
- libffi also needs to be installed if you need Ruby-FFI. I will add that is a require in a future update.
