Summary: unable to run a gem bin/xxx when newer version
Initial Comment:
Here's what occurs currently:
$ gem install rspec
$ gem install rspec --pre
$ spec
c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:335:in `bin_path': can't find
executable spec for rspec-2.0.0.beta.17 (Gem::Exception)
from
c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/faster_rubygems/prelude_bin_path.rb:44:in
`bin_path'
from c:/ruby19/bin/spec:19:in `<main>'
Unless there's a new requirement I'm not aware of that newer versions *have* to
have any binary scripts that all previous versions had.
Thanks much.

Message:
for the same reason the rails team moved the wrapper script back from railties
to the rails package. as it also broke older rails versions.
So I would say close this bug and open a bug with the rspec team.

Message:
The spec stub can't but Gem.bin_path could, I believe, by
looking it up in the gemspecs.

Message:
rspec prerelease include the binary in rspec-core and is named rspec, not spec
anymore.
http://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/blob/master/rspec-core.gemspec#L16
The spec stub:
gem 'rspec', version
load Gem.bin_path('rspec', 'spec', version)
Can't know that rspec gem no longer provide the binary needed.
