Re: [Puppet Users] Custom ruby gem continuously updates

[Peter Brown]

Does it actually install?
I find if package resources try to install on each run it means they
don't get installed correctly.

The gem is there and installed.  I didn't install it by hand, so it did get installed by puppet at some point.  I'm assuming it's because the gem source file is local so it has no way to verify the file version versus the installed version.

Considering the source you have seems to have a version in it already
have you tried it without the version number in the name?
as in
package { "sapnwrfc":

ensure => 'installed',
provider => 'gem',
source => "/export/admin_scripts/sapnwrfc-0.24",
}
