[chef] Re: Specifying a remote source with gem_package

[Morgan Blackthorne < >]

http://docs.opscode.com/resource_gem_package.html

"Options can be specified in a .gemrc file. By default the gem_package resource will use the Ruby interface to install gems which will ignore the .gemrc file. The gem_package resource can be forced to use the gems command instead (and to read the .gemrc file) by adding the gem_binary attribute to a code block."

Example

gem_package "nokogiri" do
  gem_binary "gem"
end

That's probably your best bet.

Hi,

I want to point gem_package at my Gem server, what's the best way of doing this? Adding another remote source or specifying in the recipe somehow?

Thanks,

Will
