Overall, I like the gems approach. The Ruby packages for debian-alikes are almost invariably out of date and building a lot of these Ruby enhancements is a pain in the posterior. If I want a stable version of a given component, I'll use aptitude (or RPM or whatever) and live with it being out of date. If I want the latest and greatest, however, I'll stick to the gems. Since gems can be installed and deleted just like aptitude's packages can be (and just as cleanly) it really isn't that hard an approach.
Just out of curiousity, does 'gem' work with 'checkinstall'? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus@therning.org Jabber: magnus.therning@gmail.com http://therning.org/magnus
