That would require hacking rubygems quite deeply. If rubygems provided some hooks that we could use to implement distro-specific stuff, why not. But it's not the case, AFAIK. It could bite us back, by breaking things in subtle ways. What is the problem with installing to /usr/local/bin? It's in the default system path, and it's before /usr/bin and /bin. > That way it would work with gem1.9 as well. Apt packages could > override with a higher priority. If we install to /usr/local/bin, and you gem1.9 update --system, you will get a new gem executable in /usr/local/bin, that will "override" (by precedence in the path) Debian's. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- Add rubygems bin to PATH https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
