OK. So patch to gem1.8 to call update-alternatives with a lowish priority whenever it fiddles with '/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin'.
Similarly to gem1.9. Now what about the corresponding apt-package. Let's say we have 'mongrel' installed via gems with the alternatives system pointing /usr/bin/mongrel_rails to the gem version. Then we install the apt package and there is a name clash. If something has been packaged that is also a ruby gem how do we do the naming for the binaries? 2008/5/28 Rocco Stanzione <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Now that's not a bad idea.
