Fortunately, we have our our own way of solving dependencies, and we can simply have our packages not use rubygems requirements, which is what I'd planned to do with rails myself. Rake is still necessary unless you'd rather rewrite parts of rails, but gems can be extracted easily, which actually speaks rather well of its design :-) - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
