	Ruby: RubyGems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		RubyGems is a new approach to managing packages of Ruby code.
		The original RubyGems petered out 2 years ago mostly because of the large amount of new code it required, much of which is now supplied in the default Ruby installation.
		I expect to release RubyGems 0.5 in early October 2001.

	Debian/Ruby Extras - Position on RubyGems
		RubyGems is a packaging system for Ruby applications and libraries (similar to CPAN for Perl).
		Rubygems will be included in Ruby’s standard library in Ruby 1.8.4, and chances are high that it will become the de-facto standard for Ruby packaging.
		Users could then continue to install their apps the way they are used to (using apt-get), since most of them do not care about the language their apps are written in or about other ways this application/library is made available.

		Matz was in attendance, and took a definite interest in RubyGems, offering to give Ryan commit access to the Ruby CVS repository so that he could add RubyGems to the Ruby distribution.
		RubyGems 0.4.0 on SourceForge, marking the end of his work on RubyGems.
		Though we chose to take Ryan’s original name (he gave us permission), the similarities between RubyGems of 2001 and RubyGems of 2003 exist only in their shared purpose: to simplify and standardize the way that Ruby code is distributed.

		It may be under a new version of Ruby that the rubygems file will be required by default, thus obviating the need for this require.
		This allows RubyGems to maintain multiple versions of an application and will, eventually, allow a version to be specified on the command line, for example (assuming "myapp" has a -v option that causes it to display its version and exit):
		In the future, the gem_server which is installed with RubyGems will be able to server gems in a P2P fashion.

	RedHanded » Ruby 1.8.3 Has Been Released
		I don’t care if Rubygems support Debian or not (I do care when it actively makes it difficult to repackage things though, because if you followed the thread on ruby-dev you might have noticed that other people have problems, and are not Debian people.
		Rubygems isn’t transparent, and instead forces its presence to the developer.
		Anyway, rubygems (from source) is pretty weird in Debian: gem scripts and installed rubygems go in /usr, rubygems classes go in /usr/local.

	RedHanded » The Coast is Clear to Vocally Praise RubyGems
		RubyGems is excellent and has been a huge boost to the proliferation of libraries.
		As long as Rubygems is not transparent to me as a programmer, I’m afraid I’ll have to do without.
		This is a question that’s been lingering on ruby-talk since Mar. 16, though I hear that Matz mentioned RubyGems in his OSCON talk saying that there was no need to bundle additional libraries with core any longer since it’s so easy to install things with RubyGems.

	One million RubyGems, half from Rails (Loud Thinking) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Chad Fowler has announced that RubyGems, the defacto packaging standard for Ruby, has served over one million packages.
		RubyGems has surely lived up to its promise of making the installation and maintenance of libraries, frameworks, and applications a painless experience.
		But in all this cherry go happy, I'm still not an entirely happy man. See, RubyGems is still not part of the core Ruby distribution.

	[No title]
		If a package is signed then RubyGems will make sure the signature matches the signing certificate, and that the signing certificate hasn't expired, but that's it.
		So, the reason RubyGems refused to install our shiny new signed gem was because it was from an untrusted source.
		While you're waiting for RubyGems to work it's magic, have a look at some of the other security commands: Usage: gem cert [options] Options: -a, --add CERT Add a trusted certificate.

	Rubygems, native ruby extensions (and their dependencies) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The title might not be all too clear but here goes: I'm looking into alternatives for installing my ruby extension library (which is used by some utility applications).
		Even if I'll right now only will be doing local installations I find RubyGems my current favorite - just some questions: - How should I handle native ruby extensions (building them at install time is not an option here).
		Any special considerations with regards to application-specific configuration files, invoking the application etc. Ideally I'd just like the user to be able to run from the command line after installation.

		I'd also note that it is imperative to include rubygems into the standard distribution of ruby since ruby apps are getting more complex and starting to depend on many non-trivial packages.

	Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) + RubyGems + Rails
		However don't let the advocates fool you: installing Rails into a non-standard location is anything but trivial due to complications with RubyGems.
		The first step was to download and extract the latest RubyGems distribution (version 0.8.10 at the time of writing) and run the installer.
		As of RubyGems 0.8.0, library stubs are no longer needed.

		If the beta gems are not edgy enough for you, it's also possible to tie your application directly to the Subversion repository for Rails.

		I tried to get an updated Xalan the other day, and I almost fainted at the bizarre number of steps that the Jakarta site was making me do.

		So, it's not really appropriate to say that it is a RubyGems equivalent.

	Fink - Package Database - Package rubygems-rb18
		RubyGems is an advanced package management tool for Ruby libraries.
		The libgems-rb18 pckage contains the rubygems library and the installed /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8 directory.
		This enables multiple versions of ruby to have the libraries and gems installed, but only one set of scripts may be installed at a time.

	The Idea Ether: RubyGems Alpha I Release
		Well, tonight Chad Fowler and I released the first version of RubyGems (Alpha I).
		I wrote on RubyGems after I returned from RubyConf 2003 last fall, and since then we have had little time to work on it until this last weekend.
		My hope is that folks will start using and producing Gems and move Ruby's handling of libraries (creation, distribution, installation, uninstallation) to the next level.

		Note that if you can’t install RubyGems in the standard location, then you probably can’t install gems in the standard gem repository location either.
		This means that RubyGems must be loaded before any gem libraries are accessable.

	fail unless class << self; self end
		The RubyGems project reached 100 packages during the last RubyConf, just in time for Jim Weirich’s talk.
		The package count keeps increasing and now that the RubyGems team has committed itself to making their packages repackager-friendly, that’s good news for everybody.
		Fortunately, RPA’s centralized nature makes the former much easier than in the case of RubyGems: end users only have to trust the signature of RPA and not those of all the upstream developers, so we don’t need a web of trust involving potentially all of the Ruby community for this to work.

		The preferred way to do this is with RubyGems, as this will drag in the prerequisite libraries.

	Re: Bug#293055: Progress with rails?
		What I mean is that according to rubygems documentation, you write this: require 'rubygems' require_gem 'foo' Even worse: gems require gems.
		A quick glance at RubyGems suggests that installation of a package as a Gem requires all of its dependencies to be gems also (due to require_gem).
		A. It would not be too difficult to create a convertor to auto-generate dpkg or rpm files out of gems.

	HOWTO: Install FXRuby using RubyGems - Ubuntu Forums
