Since ruby allready comes with a package manager (mentioned earlier), I never downloaded anything from the aur, but used rubygems instead. My question is, if we really need to have all these packages in the aur. Isn't it easier to manage everything with rubygems??
As someone who doesn't develop in Ruby at all, is it really true that ruby comes with a package manager (as defined here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_management_system)? In particular, does it support 1. removal of packages 2. non-ruby dependencies The reason I'm interested is that in the Haskell community this question comes up every now and then, at which point we often point to http://ivanmiljenovic.wordpress.com/2010/03/15/repeat-after-me-cabal-is-not-... :) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
