comment Centos-release update package
My current version is Centos 6.3 final, should I use yum upgrade or yum update? What's the difference?

comment Add system user to CentOS 6
one last question: in the commands of Ubuntu I have the --group option which (from the docs) when combined with --system, creates a group with the same name and ID as the system user. If not combined with --system, a group with the given name is created. As on Ubuntu the --system option is specified, what should I do on CentOS to get the same result?

-r doesn't create the homedir. What if I need a system user which can login not via password but via ssh and with his own user home directory?

it doesn't work because the libyaml package is old in the default repository. When I compiled the sources of ruby (not the rpm) I had to download the sources of the new libyaml and compile ruby against it

mmm using that RPM spec file I compiled ruby 1.9.3 following the README ont he github page and tried to install it on the production machine. It gives me errors about missing libyaml and pkp-config. I thought that RPM would have installed all without problems. I used the command rpm -ivh XXX.rpm

ok so basically what's the difference beetween building the RPM or build from source? In any case I need the dev packages, the only difference if I understood correctly is that RPM let me use yum install

the problem is that gem install for example for json requires gcc and for thin requires gcc-c++. I need to install these dev packages anyway. Also for mysql gem, I need to install the mysql-devel

comment Install packages that must be self-compiled on CentOS server is a bad practice?
as I said commenting other replies I'm having a lot of trouble testing the default packages provided by the vendor on the virtual machine because I get a lot of errors saying to install dev packages to compile native extensions. Until now i had to install mysql-devel, ruby-devel, gcc, gcc-c++. All things that basically I had to install on the other virtual machine where I installed ruby from sources. Should I look for RVM or should I build RPM myself? I don't plan to run more than redmine on the server, so I don't need to have multiple versions of ruby installed ready to switch

using the official version of ruby on CentOS 6 is giving me a lot of trouble in the virtual machine. For example the package doesn't include itself the gems and when I try to install them I get a compilation error saying that I must have ruby-dev and gcc compiler to build native gem extensions like the json gem. It seems that building the ruby myself is easier that using the default packages

I tried to install in a virtual machine the builtin package provided by the default repository of CentOS. The version of ruby is 1.8.7. However, I first had to install the rubygems package manually because it didn't had it alredy builtin and I'm now trying to install the default gems but I have a compilation error saying that to build the json gem I must have ruby-dev and the gcc compiler. Basically, installing manually all the ruby is easier than using the default packages
