$PREFIX defaults to /usr/local when you install ruby from source.  Is it
then "sane" for packagers to install to /usr/local/?

Two directories, 3 classes of libraries:

  packaged libraries from ruby stlib
  packaged 3rd party libraries
  manually installed

Which goes where?

The various distros make different decisions here, in the absence of
friendly guidance.

>   $PREFIX/lib/ruby/gems/$VERSION

Two directories, 2 classes of libraries:

  packaged gems
  manually installed gems

I guess they all go in one place?


Btw, for those wondering why anybody would be so perverse as to not want
to install using gem, here's something to think about.

We build a debian-based network appliance.  Manufacturing process
involves auto-install and config of all packages (custom s/w and 3rd
party) via net boot. We use the platform package format to take
advantage of the auto install and configuration tools, not because we
believe that any of the following commands are easier or harder to
execute by a human:

  ruby setup.rb install
  gem install foo
  dpkg install foo
  yum install foo
  ...

Of course, we don't install our appliances from the actual debian
repository, we need better control than that, we do it from a locally
maintained mirror. Even if we did install ruby libs using gems, we would
need to setup a local gem repository. Luckily, debian has what we need
so far for ruby, figuring out how to repackage gems hasn't been our
problem.

Cheers,
Sam
