This can not be right! The Ruby-gem development/interpreters/ruby/gems.nix installs the GEM package manager for Ruby. When it installs a package it does it in the store path of Ruby, e.g. 'gem install rake' puts files in:
/nix/store/v914ms0apfk2jbkm5kzqp4w35nbkcx1c-ruby-1.8.7-p22/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.1 With files using current time stamps. In other words one package writes directly into the store path of another. Me thinks it should do it somewhere else, outside the store (it is the case, like with Perl cpan and Python eggs, we have to support Ruby gems). I just updated the ruby package - to support shared libraries and pthreads, which is pretty much the standard. The gem package I consider broken.
