"This means projects unaware of Rip can be installed by Rip and managed by ripenvs"

That means every Ruby code written and hosted publicly can be installed locally by Rip?

Now we will need a special search engine just for Ruby :D

Sorry in advance if you run into problems installing this.

It's not the most simple problem and I was limited during development to my own setup and the setup of a few peers.

I'd love to get it rock solid and take it where it needs to go.

How do people deploy with walled-garden package managers like this? Do you write an LSB RPM which depends on Ruby and stuff like your local syslog and net-snmp configs, and runs "gem install rip" and "rip install whatever" for you?

I avoid them entirely by copying the source of my Ruby dependencies into my source tree. That way I can deploy to a fresh machine with a simple checkout. This isn't foolproof (compiled/installed dependencies) but it helps.
