Subject: Re: [RFC] Proposing a Ruby Packaging Standard

Hi,

I've only ever used RubyGems for packaging my projects, so I'm kind of 
scared of setup.rb's style of separating my project's directories (i.e. 
lib/ is no longer next to bin/ and so on).  In particular, I am confused 
about the following:

I want to run the man executable (pointing it to my project's man/ 
directory) from my project's executable in bin/.  With RubyGems, I can 
rely on bin/ being next to man/.  But with setup.rb I don't know how to 
find my project's man/ directory from my project's executable in bin/!

Any suggestions?

Also, if I provide a man/ directory in my gem/tarball package like this:

man/
└── man1
    ├── ember.1
    └── ember.1.html

1 directory, 2 files

Will it be copied into /usr/share/man/ by RubyGems/setup.rb/Rip and 
friends?

Thanks for your consideration.
