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.

Thanks Roger. If you are able to notify the rspec folks that this is fixed in
future, that would be good.

Message:
This is definitely a bug in rubygems, although not entirely trivial to solve. I
will have a think about it, certainly bin_path should make it easier.

and maybe document the requirement that you cant change the package of a script
without breaking older versions.

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.

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.
