So on the latest version of Ubuntu (12.10), if I run "apt-get install rails" I get Rails 2.3. That was originally released over 4 years ago. There have been (nearly) 4 major releases since then. How do you work around that, or do you not?

One way to work around that is to host an internal apt/yum/etc repository and put whatever you need into a package there.

A nice way to build apt repositories is to use fpm. https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm

Although for just installing rails, using rubygems is the way to go, IMHO.
