Why? Isn't that the preferred method for updating RubyGems?
% gem help update
Usage: gem update GEMNAME [GEMNAME ...] [options]
Options:
--system Update the RubyGems system software
...
My understanding, after being involved with Ruby projects for the last three
years is that installing RubyGems from source, and updating it with the above
is the preference. Generally speaking, binary distributions lag behind upstream
versions; this is nothing new.
For example, RHEL 6 has Ruby 1.8.6: ruby-1.8.6.383-6.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
