I don't work in a Ruby shop anymore, but I'd look at Bundler if I was looking to manage multiple gemsets on the same installation. As I point out in the above thread, maintaining multiple gemsets on the same machine is an antipattern that points to technical debt.

Ruby 1.8 is over. EOL. You need to port everything forward or suffer the consequences.

False dichotomy. There is no technical debt. Both Ruby 1.9.3 and Ruby 2 are functional and used in production. It will take some time to totally move to 2, and when that happens, there will be applications on different release versions of 2. I don't want to wait for os packaging to use a new ruby release, and I don't want to be forced by the packaging to use a particular version(older or newer).

Um. I use Bundler along with rvm.

Having a restriction of not more than one app on one machine is as stupid as it gets.
