Comment 1 Rémy CLOUARD (shikamaru) 2012-12-07 21:25:17 CET

Iâm tempted to close this bug as not a bug since all these arenât included in the rvm gem, which is the purpose of this package. I admit this gem alone isnât really useful, and it should probably be a Suggests of a real rvm package, which is not done yet. See https://rvm.io/integration/passenger/ to see what this gem is useful for.

Iâm not opposed to package rvm (the executable that is) as rvm though, and make it require ruby-rvm, but the installation procedure makes it kinda difficult to package.
If you want a user install of rvm then you probably donât need a rpm for it, and itâs the recommended way of installing it.
Iâm certainly not going to package it as a multi-user install that will modify the default umask and introduce security risks, see the documentation on https://rvm.io/rvm/install/

Anyway, installing this package should normally pull all dependencies needed to build rubies (with suggests for jruby and ironruby), so itâs still a good take imho.

Please reopen this bug if you think you can get a way to package it in a clean way for multi-user install, I would be glad to review it.
