Specifying a remote source with gem_package

Chef Infra (archive)

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

"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.
