From: Vit Ondruch Date: 2012-01-11T06:06:38+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:42046] [ruby-trunk - Feature #5617] Allow install RubyGems into dediceted directory Issue #5617 has been updated by Vit Ondruch. To be precise, the github patch is fixed version of 0001-Allow-to-install-RubyGems-into-custom-location-outsi.patch. The 0002-Avoid-duplication-of-datadir.rb-which-belongs-to-Rub.patch still needs to be applied. I'll upload correct version of the 0001 tomorrow, since I'm working on different computer now. Please reopen the issue. ---------------------------------------- Feature #5617: Allow install RubyGems into dediceted directory https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5617 Author: Vit Ondruch Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Hello, I would like to propose my patch, which allows to optionally install RubyGems library into dedicated directory, out of the default Ruby directory structure. This should enable to easily share one RubyGems library by more Ruby implementations and avoids code duplication. I did this patch since Fedora prohibits duplication of system libraries [1], which would be the case if MRI and JRuby are installed in parallel. Thank you for considering this patch.
