Reading http://pkg-ruby-extras.alioth.debian.org/rubygems.html was
disappointing.
I might be completely wrong but i would like to know what you think about
this idea. I noticed that the ruby1.8 install supports the directory:
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8
So what about packaging a version of rubygems with its files in:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/*
/usr/bin/gem
...
BUT this version would be configured to install and consume downloaded gems
into:
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/gems
The package is compliant (at installation only it only add an empty dir in
/usr/local).
Admin takes full reponsabilty about rubygem. On purge rubygem only remove its
files in /usr/lib.
I consider rubygem as package similar to wget. I don't expect dpkg -P wget
to remove files i have downloaded when i typed:
wget -O /usr/local/somefile http://some/url
What do you think about that ?
