No one has build the rubygem-rails package for .el6 in fedora's koji (some
others have been), however it was on for .el5.

I haven't seen any rails rpms in bugzilla, and unfortunately it doesn't
seem that the passenger developers are very interested in making their
software compatible with the packaging guidelines of the Fedora/EPEL/RHEL
software distributions:

(The conversation probably could have been handled better by both sides,
but Phusion walked away when asked for clarifications).

ps.  and if anyone has gotten the packages from puppetlabs to work properly
I would be interested in hearing how you got it going cause it was an utter
fail for me.
