You could get inspired by rosjava/genjava. They provide a Maven repository with the required Java JAR files compiled from source-installed ROS. So the end-users do not have to install everything from source and just download the pre-built Maven artifacts when needed.

I don't know if Ruby supports a similar mechanism. You have to investigate that.

There is one problem genjava currently has - nobody updates the Maven repo, so if you update your system-installed ROS packages, you lose ability to find the correct versions of the artifacts. But if you cared about the repo, it should be no problem.
