Puppet

While the error about 2.3 is wrong, there’s more complexity here. My ubuntu hardy machine has rails 2.0 installed. puppet/feature/rails.rb should detect this as being less than 2.1, but instead it incorrect thinks there’s no activerecord.

Poking at rails.rb, it looks like this is because activerecord 2.0 doesn’t export the ActiveRecord::VERSION things without active_record/version having been required:
