The gem command *is* a completely integral part of ruby1.9. Removing it is like removing the standard library or the interpreter itself.
There is a great need to start treating gem with the respect that ruby developers expect, rather than this continuing attempt to treat it as some sort of side issue. It's like trying to hold back the tide and is already causing massive problems in using both Debian and Ubuntu as a basis for any sort of Ruby operation. It's deeply frustrating. Every serious ruby developer has gem installed. Every serious ruby program going forward will use gems. I see no value at all in splitting it out. 2008/5/16 Lucas Nussbaum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On 16/05/08 at 12:36 -0000, Ubuntu Merge-o-Matic wrote: >> Changes: >> ruby1.9 (1.9.0.1-1ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low >> . >> * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes: >> - Robustify check for target_os, fixing build failure on lpia. > > OK, will merge that one in the Debian package. > >> * debian/control: >> - ruby1.9 pkg: moved rdoc1.9 suggestion to depends.
