As usual, details on installing the packages from our repository are available on our wiki.

Passenger 2.2.4 actually is just a small bug fix release for a memory leak in 2.2.3, but obviously brings all the benefits of 2.2.3 too.  A huge number of bugs have been fixed, particularly the “Broken Pipe” errors some sites under heavy loads were experiencing.

Our packages just upgrade (i.e replace) the standard 1.8 Ruby installation, which might not be acceptable for everyone.  But it’s simpler than fiddling about with dual Ruby installations.

So, once you’ve added our experimental repository, you’re one command away from getting copy-on-write friendly Ruby EE.  If you don’t like it for some reason, one command gets up back to where you started.

These packages are currently experimental – we’re using them on a few small projects with good results so far, but they’ve not been heavily tested yet.

More details here on our wiki.
