"Ease your vendor branch management worries with Piston

Piston is a utility that eases vendor branch management. This is similar to svn:externals, except you have a local copy of the files, which you can modify at will. As long as the changes are mergeable, you should have no problems.
Install Piston
First, you need to have Ruby installed (even though we aren't doing any programming in Ruby) in order to run Piston:

yum install ruby
yum install rdoc
cd /extra/src
wget http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p180.tar.gz
tar zxf ruby-1.9.2-p180.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.9.2-p180
/configure
make
make install

Then you can download a tarball of RubyGems, the package manager for Ruby and install it.

cd /extra/src
wget http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.8.5.tgz
tar zxvf rubygems-1.8.5.tgz
cd rubygems-1.8.5
ruby setup.rb --prefix=/usr/local

Installing Piston is easy:

gem install piston
