the Gentoo method isnt perfect - it fails in the inverse scenario where youve installed everything via gems, then want to install something through portage that depends on installed gems (stuff gets reinstalled). the other problem is its tied to hardcoded version numbers in the ebuild filenames. theres no way for it to discover that newer versions of the gems exist. does freeBSD solve either of these problems? _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
