Progress report: Ruby Enterprise Edition documentationToday

One of the goals of the second Ruby Enterprise Edition sponsorship campaign is to have better documentation. I’m almost done with the documentation, and a preview is a available here.

Some REE features involve setting environment variables. Setting environment variables in the shell by calling ‘export FOO=bar’ has no permanent effect. Setting the environment variables in bashrc/profile is permanent, but doesn’t always work; for example Apache (and other processes which are typically started by the system init process) ignores bashrc/profile. There’s /etc/environment, but this seems to be Linux-specific, perhaps even Debian-specific.

Does anybody know a cross-platform method to permanently set environment variables for all processes? If no such method exists, how would one permanently set environment variables in FreeBSD, OS X and Solaris?
