virtualenv.rb

#VIA: https://gist.github.com/612395

# Definition to create virtualenvs
#
# For example::
#
# virtualenv "/home/me/myenv" do
# packages "Django" => "1.2.3"
# end
#
# This would create a new virtualenv in /home/me/myenv and install
# Django 1.2.3. "packages" is a hash, so you can include multiple
# packages there. Right now there's nothing to say "latest version"
# because I don't know Ruby that well!
#
# The definition also accepts path, owner, group, and mode arguments, just
# like the directory resource.
#
# TODO: support a requirements file.
