[Bug 706603] Re: gem1.9.1 doens't install executables on PATH
> it's not a simple problem to solve I disagree. The current state is this: Installation instructions recommend installing RubyGems from source because Ubuntu's is broken. This rubygems installed from source in combination with a Ruby installed from apt will cause gem to write executables in /usr/bin. What again is the argument against setting EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY to /usr/local/bin? It's more standard conforming than the current /var path. It's simply the administrator (sudo) installing an executable in /usr/local/bin, which is standard practice. Ubuntu doesn't modify other software to prevent writing to /usr/local/bin, why pick out rubygems, whose users are developers, not technology averse end users? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706603 Title: gem1.9.1 doens't install executables on PATH -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 706603] Re: gem1.9.1 doens't install executables on PATH
> You can install gems from debian packages Something is either a gem or a deb package. A Ruby package installed via apt should not show up as RubyGem and a Ruby package installed via gem should not show up as deb. A cleanly written Ruby program that requires a library doesn't care with which package manager it was installed. Keep debs and gems separate. They satisfy different needs that cannot be integrated into a single solution. View gem as just some program that happens to write to /usr/local/bin. No deb integration. Nowhere does RubyGems advertise deb integration. That would be an extra (that would IMHO, be more problematic than useful). So why not fix the basics (executables in PATH), before even thinking about extra functionality? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706603 Title: gem1.9.1 doens't install executables on PATH -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've found these previous discussions: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby1.8/+bug/145267 and http://fossplanet.com/f10/bug-448639-rubygems-fhs-compliance-debian-ubuntu-43888/ Where's the packaging and filesystem policy clash? What's the purpose of /usr/local/bin if not for stuff like this. This way gem doesn't affect apt installed software and vice versa. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706603 Title: gem1.9.1 doens't install executables on PATH -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ruby1.9.1 Package: ruby1.9.1 version 1.9.2.0-1 The included rubygems is configured with EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY set to /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/bin which is not on the users PATH by default.
