From: "Marcus Rückert" Date: 2010-03-20T00:09:25+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:28782] [Feature #1800] rubygems can replace system executable files Issue #1800 has been updated by Marcus R��ckert. Eric and myself discussed this on irc and came to the conclusion that rubygems would need to track binaries installed by gems with path and their checksum. When it updates a gem it would only overwrite the binary if the checksum still matches and the binary belongs to a former version of the same package. the other option would be a seperate bin dir that you have to add to your $PATH. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1800 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
