Not really. What it does is act as a shim between two different package *formats*, specifically so that separate package *managers* aren't necessary. My personal belief is that the `gem` command simply should not be available to the root user on a Debian system. gem2deb is a big step in that direction. -- Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
