Where does RVM gets it's Ruby sources?

[da99]

RVM install ruby 2.0.0 fast compared to ruby-build (on Ubuntu 13.04). Why is that? Is it using a special Ruby source compared to the usual "curl/configure/make/make install" ?

[da99]

It turns out RVM installs Ruby 2.0 fast on Ubuntu 13.04 because it gets ruby binaries from: https://rvm.io/binaries/ubuntu/13.04/x86_64/

(found via rvm --debug install 2.0.0)

Is there any documentation about these binaries? Example: How they are built, who builds them, if they can be used in other projects? etc. etc. etc.

I checked the binaries and they hold no docs about themselves.

the binaries are build using rvm and you can use them anywhere you want - it's just a build of ruby sources (it might include patches - but most of them is in ruby anyway - or only fixes the build process for the given platform)

only rvm team members are allowed to provide binaries, but so far all the binaries builds should be provided by me (Michal Papis).
