the ebuild is almost totally empty, besides this line: inherit ruby gems im thinking they could proably factor this line into the eclass, since presumably rubyforge has a naming convention: SRC_URI="http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/gems/${P}.gem" you might wnat to look into something similar. i like to think of the package manager as a wrapper, not an un-networked custom unwrapper/rewrapper and hope everything ends up back in the same box (and usually with competing version numbers and optional modules it doesnt) _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
