Have a look at http://www.allruby.com/rpkg.  You can also browse the
repository and download packages from the web from
http://www.allruby.com/descriptions/index.html, though you'll have
much more control from the command line.

The tool is under development and the repository is still small
compared to the RAA.  However, packaging modules is very easy and I
expect their number to grow -- if because of nothing else, because I'm
making packages for about every ruby thing I install on my machine
just to keep the situation under control. ;-)
