Thanks Eric,
the method is probably usable (== public) since 1.0.x(?) (I haven't take
a look into the history). I need to be backward compatible with at least
0.9.4+.
Probably I'll use a workaround like:
module Gem; class << self; public :ensure_gem_subdirectories; end; end
Gem.ensure_gem_subdirectories '/new/gem/repo'
which should work for 0.9.x as well.
Thanks for the tip,
m.
