I'm betraying my Rails heritage here and giving you duff instructions. On Ruby1.8 with a pure ruby application you always have to start a program with require 'rubygems' to get the 'require' monkey patching in place so you can use gem libraries. In ruby1.9 that is done automatically. (f you work in the Rails framework then Rails does that for you). So you don't need the symlinks and rubygem1.8 users wouldn't expect them to be there. > Other comments on the diff between 1.2.0-2 and > 1.2.0+2008081301-0ubuntu1~bbox1: > > * debian/control: > > You've modified the build-dependencies - you're depending on rdoc > rather than an explicit version of it.

There is no need for a specific version so it should depend upon the default package. I understood that to be Ruby policy. > ruby-pkg-tools has been dropped - why ?

It does until you have a clean machine and do 'apt-get install rubygems' at which point you would have access to 'gem', but not 'ruby'. '/usr/bin/ruby' is controlled by the ruby package. If I've installed rubygems without a suffix I sort of expect to be able to use ruby without a suffix. Similarly if I've install rubygems1.8 I'd sort of expect ruby to be called ruby1.8 - hence why the dependency is here and not in the rubygems1.8 package. -- Neil Wilson -- 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
