I'm experimenting with trying to force RubyGems to only load gems out of ~/.gem - to ignore any system installed gems - the goal being to facilitate a smooth sudo-less gems environment.
There's a couple of problems I'm seeing. If these are confirmed as bugs, I'll open tickets and try to come up with some failing tests. First, there is some confusion over whether the 'gempath' and 'gemhome' keys should be strings or symbols. Looking through config_file.rb and environment_command.rb, there are inconsistencies. You will also get different results from Gem.path and `gem env` depending on whether you use strings or symbols Next, there are problems on Leopard where the overrides in .gemrc will be overridden (if APPLE_GEM_HOME or RUBY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION exist). The settings in .gemrc should always take precedence, I would think. Thanks, -- Chad
