Hi,
gem install has the --install-dir flag, but uninstall does not. This means
if I wanted to create a gem repository in a non-standard directory such as
/opt/gems I can not uninstall gems from that alternate folder.
Trying to set the GEM_HOME to an empty gem folder causes the gem command to
fail with this stack trace.
GEM_HOME=/opt/rhg/gems/ gem uninstall package
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- sources (LoadError)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
