Huh. I guess this is why it was so much work to maintain a working Octopress/Jekyll install back when I used Octopress (speaking as a non-Ruby dev who didn't maintain a Ruby dev environment and relied on system packages as much as possible)?

I would regularly try to publish a post or even just fix a typo only to find that I had to install a bunch of packages, override environment variables, etc., to get around what were effectively compiler or linker errors (not that people call them that in a dynamic language).

ruby@freebsd.org does a great job. Sometimes there are issues like this when upstream introduces new dependencies. But these are rare and addressed quickly. So maybe run #FreeBSD?

I'm occasionally tempted by a BSD for a variety of reasons, but I don't think I want to run a BSD at home while I use Linux at work and I think it's pretty unlikely I'll end up in a BSD shop in the near future.
Maybe after I retire :-).

The Debian style packagers do slice the salami much thinner than most
