I recently blogged about rubygem-passenger-2.2.5-2 being available from my repositories, and there's a few side-notes on this:

1. rubygem-passenger now requires rubygem-hawler, which was not (but is now) available from those same repositories
   rubygem-hawler enables one to perform /usr/bin/passenger-stress-test, which would have failed prior to including rubygem-hawler. I realize this would have better been split to a separate package, which is on my TODO list for the next version of rubygem-passenger
2. The Apache2 module is readily available through the mod_passenger package, a subpackage of rubygem-passenger. There's no need to run passenger-install-apache2-module and in fact that command will fail. I've added to my TODO list to remove that command from the package entirely, or replace it with my own script that lets you know to install the mod_passenger package.

I've made rubygem-passenger-2.2.5-2 packages available for Fedora 10, Fedora 11, Rawhide and EPEL-5 for those interested. You can find them at http://www.kanarip.com/custom/ if you're interested.

PS> Rubygem-passenger (a.k.a. mod_rails/mod_rack) will not be in Fedora until someone fixes the package shipping its own version of Boost

PS^2> Rubygem-passenger's %{_bindir} files have now been fixed, but for passenger-stress-testing you'll need rubygem-hawler (which is in the repositories as well)
