Using --no-format-executable to keep gem named 'gem' doesn't work
when running gem update --system.
This command in JRuby:
$ jruby -S gem update --system --no-format-executable
Installs a gem named jgem.
I've got a trunk checkout of rubygems (r1694) and made the following
change to see if I could get the update_command to interpret the
--no-format-executable option but I was unable to build from trunk on
a MacOS 10.5.2 system
First problem building was with lack of certificates and then after I
commented out the cert stuff in the Spec in Rakefile I got this error:
$ rake gem
...
undefined method `write' for "rubygems-update-1.1.0.gem":String
Haven't figured out the cause of that yet.
Anyways here's the change I was trying to test:
$ svn diff lib/rubygems/commands/update_command.rb
Index: lib/rubygems/commands/update_command.rb

update_dir = File.join Gem.dir, 'gems', "rubygems-update-#{version}"
I think that might make this command install gem as 'gem':
$ jruby -S gem update --system --no-format-executable
I can however get an updated rubygems gem command installed as 'gem'
if I do the two step update like this:
$ jruby -S gem install rubygems-update
$ jruby -S update_rubygems --no-format-executable
