I finally got around to installing Edgy on my testbed (and undoing some of its obnoxious behaviour on installation like "correcting" all my boot devices to be its partition....) and started to install the tools I need/like/want. One of those is Ruby 1.8. I've noticed since Breezy that Ruby Gems has not yet been packaged for Ubuntu and this confuses me. The fact that someone is packaging Ruby at all indicates that someone, somewhere likes Ruby enough to go through the backflips. Yet I'd be hard-pressed to find a deep Ruby user who doesn't use Gems. Is there some technical reason I'm unaware of making Ruby Gems not get packaged or is it a matter of missing manpower?<BR>
