Description
If Gem.configuration["gem"] is set to something, that indicates that either the users .gemrc or /etc/gemrc has been configured to pass custom parameters to gem on every invocation.
Crowbar uses this functionality to ensure that gem-provided binaries are installed to a location that is always in $PATH without having to patch every gem install in the recipes we use.
I have a fix for this issue at https://github.com/VictorLowther/chef/tree/vlowther-really-honor-gemrc, and there is a pull request open.
Hi Victor,
I noticed that you linked to a fix, but the ticket is in an 'open' state. The folks over at Opscode typically only review tickets for merging which are in a 'resolved' state. If you resolve this ticket, then it should be reviewed at the next Opscode triage meeting (typically weekly).
You can find details about the the ticket/triage/merge process at http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Release+Process
