Unfortunately, making jruby a multipackage requires bumping all packages with a jruby FLAVOR (even though almost none are built by default). It turns out that jruby ships a broken ri program anyway, so the ri documentation files are not usable without installing some external gems. Because of that, it's probably better to just not ship any of the ri documentation files with jruby. Almost everyone using jruby also has regular ruby installed, and the documentation differences between the two are minimal, so this shouldn't have a negative effect. Gzipped patch attached, tested on amd64 (will test on i386 shortly). I plan to commit this tomorrow unless I hear objections. Thanks, Jeremy
