Category: `gem install` command Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Sven Schwyn (svoop) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: "gem uninstall" and --format-executable Initial Comment: I'm observing the following issue on my Gentoo box with several Rubies (MRI 1.8 and 1.9) installed: cat /etc/gemrc --- gem: --format-executable gem19 install rake ls /usr/local/bin rake19 # executable installed by Rubygems rake -> rake19 # convenience symlink is created by Gentoo gem uninstall rake ls /usr/local/bin rake19 Apparently, the "gem uninstall" command does not honor --format-executable. Wouldn't it be a more consistent behavior if the versioned (or formatted) executable were uninstalled? (Gentoo would then take care of the dead symlink.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=575&aid=28993&group_id=126 _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
