RVM system-wide install script url broken -- what is replacement?

Question

My RVM system-wide installation scripts are broken, both in the form of Linode StackScripts and Chef-solo Recipes.

Per the instructions on the RVM website, my scripts execute the following commands as root to install RVM on a system-wide basis:

echo "Installing RVM system-wide" >> $logfile
bash < <( curl -L http://bit.ly/rvm-install-system-wide )
cat >> /etc/profile <<'EOF'
# Load RVM if it is installed,
#  first try to load  user install
#  then try to load root install, if user install is not there.
if [ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ] ; then
  . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
elif [ -s "/usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm" ] ; then
  . "/usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm"
fi
EOF

source /etc/profile

The key piece above is the url http://bit.ly/rvm-install-system-wide. As of today, 3/24/2011, this url no longer in service. It results in a GitHub 404 error.

The following url on the RVM website used to contain the instructions for the system-wide install: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/deployment/system-wide/. However, that url now redirects to the RVM homepage.

In the interests of getting RVM system-wide installation scripts to work again, what are the new instructions?

Here is my fix to install the last working version before he major change:

bash <( curl -L https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/raw/1.3.0/contrib/install-system-wide ) --version '1.3.0'

This is working for me now in production. Good luck!

UPDATE

Also, if you are using the chef cookbook from https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm or something similar, you can use the following options:

:rvm => {
  :system_installer_url => "https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/raw/1.3.0/contrib/install-system-wide",
  :version => "1.3.0"
}
