Rubygems 1.3.6 may not be ready for primetime
---------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-4727
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4727
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.5
Environment: jruby 1.5.0.RC1 (ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 249) (2010-04-14
0b08bc7) (Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM 1.6.0_19) [i386-java]
Reporter: David Kellum
Assignee: Thomas E Enebo
In Rubygems 1.3.6, gem install no longer falls back to ~/.gem if the current
user doesn't have write permissions to GEM_HOME. Example:
{noformat}
% jgem install -V rake
...
GET http://production.cf.rubygems.org/gems/rake-0.8.7.gem
200 OK
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions into the
/opt/dist/jruby-1.5.0.RC1/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 directory.
{noformat}
The workaround is to use --install-dir or explicitly set GEM_HOME to ~/.gem/..
This can be considered regression from JRuby 1.4.0/Rubygems 1.3.5 and is a
major nuisance for environments taking advantage of that feature.

Similar problem with gem unpack:

this one with a fix on trunk.
