Ok.
In r1829 I have added:
Gem.pre_install
Gem.post_install
Gem.pre_uninstall
Gem.post_uninstall
Thanks for that Eric. I'll have a play.
Do I define these in the 'operating_system.rb' file, or elsewhere? And
I presume they act on all gems installed/uninstalled on a system (ie
the hook isn't specific to a gem and stored in the gem package
somewhere).
You would define what you need in operating_system.rb.
These hooks are only available for packagers and implementors, gems
themselves cannot define any hooks.
One note I forgot to make was that they are called regardless of
installation path, so if I run `gem install some_gem -i ~/tmp/gems`
you may not want to update alternatives. (Rubinius will take
advantage of these to compile all the .rb files, for example).
Since I just remembered this, I added #bin_dir and #gem_home to
Installer and Uninstaller so you can determine whether or not to run
update alternatives.
