I am disappointed that rubygems 1.1.1 has moved gem binaries back into /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/.
I find it somewhat annoying to have to deal with various gems' binaries being tucked away in a location that's not in the path. I've read the entire history to this particular bug report and understand the general concerns, I think. I can easily agree with the concern over 1.0.1 putting gems in /usr/ bin/. But instead of burying them in /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/ again, can we move them to /usr/local/bin/ ? That really is where sysadmins expect locally installed stuff to end up and I would suggest that manually installing individual gems falls within that expectation. If there really is strong resistance to moving them to /usr/local/ bin/, then perhaps rubygems could be patched to read a config file in / etc somewhere that would describe where such binaries should end up? I would at least like to be able to easily override them to go into /usr/ local/bin with a single, one-time config option. Thanks for your renewed consideration. --t _______________________________________________ Pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers
