• url - required ruby source
• checksum - optional sha256 package checksum
• gems - optional gems to install
• environment - optional compilation environment variables

With node attributes

{
  "ark": {
    "prefix_root": "/usr/local/src"
  },
  "chruby_build": {
    "rubies": [
      {
        "id": "ruby-2.1.1",
        "url": "http://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.1/ruby-2.1.1.tar.gz",
        "checksum": "c843df31ae88ed49f5393142b02b9a9f5a6557453805fd489a76fbafeae88941",
        "gems": ["bundler"],
        "environment": {
          "ARCHFLAGS": "-arch x86_64",
          "CFLAGS": "-g -O2",
          "CPPFLAGS": "-I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
