Not that I'm anywhere near an expert in ruby matters, but I have some (bad) experience with alternatives, so: If this means running different individual applications with different stacks/stack versions, I strongly suggest reconsidering using the alternatives system for that. Alternatives is for (easily) changing the system default stack, not at all for changing per-application ones. And getting it right is not an easy task. FWIW in fact I'd recommend not doing any alternatives stuff unless there are very strong, valid reasons for doing so. We have an example with the current Java alternatives system in Fedora which in my opinion no longer has any real benefits but rather has a negative net effect and it'd be good to start planning for getting rid of it altogether. On the other hand, if I got your intent right, environment-modules might be something to look into here. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
