I used to use rbenv a lot and I loved it except for the fact that I needed to compile my own ruby in order to take advantage of a gem sandbox. It would be nice if rbenv could see all system rubies and the gems associated to it. That plus something like https://github.com/mislav/rbenv-user-gems to overlay your own gems. -- Duncan Mac-Vicar P. - Director, Data Center Management; R&D SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Dilip Upmanyu, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
