Using a user gem repository with 'rake setup'
---------------------------------------------
Key: BUILDR-112
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-112
Project: Buildr
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core features
Environment: Trunk revision 680587.
Ubuntu
Reporter: Lacton
Priority: Minor
Attachments: BUILDR-112.patch
On a linux system, a user can create his own gem repository by setting the
GEM_HOME environment variable (e.g./home/lacton/local/opt/gemrepository). This
way, this user does not need root access to install and update gems.
'rake setup' assumes that users on linux will be sudoers and that they will use
the root gem repository, even though the user may have set his GEM_HOME.
I propose that 'rake setup' does not call 'sudo' if GEM_HOME is set.
