About two years ago Josiah Kiehl and I were working on a system that abused this metadata to provide a way for users to build/install their dependencies during "gem install". We didn't get that far code-wise (both of us moved cross-country shortly after that), but we did have a pretty good idea of how we wanted to do it. Happy to discuss it off-list if you're interested in what we came up with. -Erik _______________________________________________ RubyGems-Developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems RubyGems-Developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
