Why does packager hate bundler?

[chriseppstein]

I don't want to ship rake or packager in my package, but I do want to isolate the gem versions referenced in my rakefile so that I can have a predictable build process. If I put rake in the Gemfile so that I can say bundle exec rake packager:pkg and not get gem activation errors when building my stable release when I have unstable versions on my system, then rake gets packaged too.

Workaround was to use rvm gemsets that match my bundled versions :(

Packager uses bundler so I'm not sure how it could hate it. I must admit that I'm confused by exactly what your problem is and what you think it should do.

It was a late-night attempt at humor.

My point is that there needs to be a bundle that is used for running packager. And a DIFFERENT bundle that is used making the package -- otherwise I end up shipping code that doesn't need to be shipped (like rake, packager, rspec, etc)
