Apple's decision to restrict gem_server to the server version of Leopard seems out of tune, considering things like the fact that OSX already includes Apache as part of the desktop version of the OS. I find myself conflicted about whether to use the Apple packaging of Ruby when I eventually upgrade to Leopard or continue to use either the macport version or compile from sources. On Ubuntu, I've always compiled from source so as to have better control over my development environment. By the way Marcel, are you working on something like this for RubyConf? http://www.boingboing.net/2007/10/24/howto-make-a-killer.html -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/
