[chef] Installing Ruby from source

[Jeffrey Jones < >]

Hello all.

I have decided that one of chef's greatest strengths; and biggest 
weaknesses is the community cookbooks (but that is a post for another time).

Is there any "canonical" cookbook that will install ruby (version of our 
choosing) from source (Including the build-essential'ish packages)? I 
have found half a dozen ruby cookbooks but none of them offer the source 
option (I did actually find one but it is 2 years old, barely documented 
and released under the WTFPL)

I am pretty surprised that I could not find one "opscode" blessed 
"Install ruby from source" cookbook, seems like a pretty basic building 
block.

On a slight return to my first line, the community cookbook page really 
REALLY needs some sorting and filtering features.

Cheers

Jeff
