I'd love to see little-known --format-executable enabled by default for gem installs. This gives you bin stubs that match your ruby name, e.g. rake-1.9 for ruby-1.9 and rake for ruby. Currently, both are installed as rake so the latest install clobbers the previous one. This is confusing and aggravating but few are aware that --format-executable solves it. Changing the default would be a welcome improvement in gem install experience for those working with multiple rubies and doesn't change behavior for the 95% who aren't. Plus, the 1.2 release is an auspicious opportunity to flip the switch just as 1.8.7 is out and 1.9.1 nears release. jeremy _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
