Hmm, I think that I might have to disagree with you on the --verbose option. While useful to some, I do not believe it is a good default option. You lose sight of the bigger picture when using --verbose.
I don't think so. What you consider makes you "lose sight of the bigger picture" is just a drop in the bucket compared to output of the building process of many C/C++ programs. Without --verbose, the output is simply: Building native extensions. This could take a while...

Also, you failed to mention in the subject, or body, that this patch sets the binary directory with the -n option. Putting _all_ ruby gem scripts in /usr/bin is questionable, IMHO; however, since gem's default binary directory is /usr/bin and is unchanged in Arch, I will add the -n option. Not to mention, I see this is being done anyway in github-gem and this option is a much saner way of doing that.
Thanks, matt
Yeah. I've noticed this redundant `mv' in several PKGBUILDs, hence the fix. I did mention it, in teh patch :P
