Issue #1597 has been updated by Ben Lavender.

Affected version changed from 0.24.4 to 0.25.4

I am having trouble related to this with 0.25.4.  In particular, booting up our 
EC2 nodes, we can shave 10 minutes off a boot time by adding --no-rdoc and 
--no-ri with a hacked copy of the gem provider distributed as a custom one.

It looks like you were working towards some more features here than just 
--no-rdoc and --no-ri, but I think that these two should perhaps be the default 
anyway.  Would you merge any of the following if I wrote them up with specs?

1. A fix to the gem provider that adds --no-rdoc and --no-ri to all 
installations
1. A fix to the gem provider that does all of the above-described fun with 
--source
1. Some other design that's been decided on somewhere

Bug #1597: managing gems with Package does not allow arguments
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1597

Author: Ed Greenberg
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: package
Target version: unplanned
Affected version: 0.25.4
Keywords: 
Branch: 


When managing a gem with Package, one cannot set arguments. For instance one 
cannot do: 

  gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql_config

One cannot add --no-rdoc and --no-ri, nor can one add --source in order to get 
a gem from github. 

I realize I can install gems using Exec, but that is just installing them, not 
managing them. 

If there is agreement, perhaps this could find itself into a future release.
