Subject: Definitive method for managing ruby installations

It seems like most ruby programmers build and install ruby from
source.  At least that is what I gather from previous comments made on
the list.  I'm wondering what the best way of keeping one's ruby
installation up-to-date is, considering that with each new stable
release one would have to reinstall all add-ons.  Granted, the new
package management utilities like rpa and gems seem to have alleviated
this problem somewhat, but it still seems like there should be a more
automated way to upgrade one's installation without having to remember
everything that was installed before.  What do you guys do?

Thanks,
Carl
