Hi, Does anyone have any scripts/guidelines/suggestions for using groups, set-groupID permissions, and/or umasks to avoid needing root access to install/update gems? Specifically, how to manage binaries installed in /usr/local/bin? Has anyone even tried this, or does everyone do it via manually via sudo (or automate via NOPASSWD entries in sudoers)?

I've always just used sudo for installing gems. Does this mean you found a way to have a gem install its binary in /usr/local/bin? I've never been able to control any of the install locations. If the gem is going to be used system-wide, it makes sense to restrict that to root. For user-specific gems, it might be nice to be able to install to ~/lib/gems, ~/bin etc. -- Wes Sheldahl
