I've reviewed the libgem-ruby package from the ubuntu-ruby ppa (libgems-ruby_1.2.0+2008072001-0ubuntu1~bbox4). Here are my comments:

Feedback please. > === You've switched to cdbs simplepatch system and it seems you've removed a couple of patches in the process: 01_default_gem_path.dpatch 03_disable_update_system.dpatch 08_tighter_search_regex.dpatch 21_avoid_ioseek.dpatch Are these no longer required ? === You should merge the latest version of debian (-2) as your package is currently uninstallable on intrepid. === While testing the package I came across the usage of gem libraries: according to the rubygems documentation, you need to do some post-install work in order to setup ruby gems correctly. I was wondering if the ruby libraries could be symlinked to /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/RUBY_VERSION/ when a gem is installed ? That way you wouldn't have to modify your environment or call ruby with the -rubygems option. Since site_ruby is already versioned update-alternatives is not needed in that case. === I've also come across the following situation: $ sudo gem1.8 install rails $ sudo gem1.9 install rails $ sudo gem1.8 install rails However /usr/local/bin/rake is still using ruby1.9. So gems dependencies are not switched to the ruby version used by the installed gem. Is this a valid use case ? How should it be handled ? Could the slave option of update-alternatives be used to handle binaries from dependencies ? -- Mathias Gug Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com -- Add rubygems bin to PATH https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
