-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [pacman-dev] [ABS] Add --verbose flag to gem in PKGBUILD-rubygem.proto Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2011 19:57:12 +0800 From: talki walki Reply-To: Discussion list for pacman development To: pacman-dev@archlinux.org

Without --verbose the `gem install` outputs way too little information about what is being done. I suggest this patch:

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. 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
