Want to upgrade Puppet to 3.x on a CentOS 5.4 machine.

[Brian Gupta]

The only version of Ruby that is available in the standard repos is
1.8.5, so 2.7 is the highest supported version.

Although I certainly know how, I DO NOT want to use rbenv or rvm to
roll out a new version of Ruby just for Puppet. Are there any sorta
official/blessed ways to do this?

I'm taking a hard look at using this omnibus installer:

Thanks

Puppet Labs ships Ruby 1.8.7 in their repos, and that's what's recommended.

Do you have applications that require Ruby 1.8.5?

Got it. As far as I know, no 1.8.5 needs in this particular case, so
those packages should be fine.

Very easy to use, and works as expected, as well!

rpm -ivh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-5.noarch.rpm
yum install ruby
yum install rubygems
gem install facter --version 1.6.18 --no-ri --no-rdoc
gem install puppet --version 3.4.3 --no-ri --no-rdoc

(Yeah, I know.. we still sometimes use gem. We'll move away eventually.)

Thanks,
Brian
