how does one use GEM_HOME with gem installer?
<goodwill>
it seems to ignore it when I run it
<goodwill>
always installs in ~/.gems
<goodwill>
okie, apparently --no-user-install was needed

goodwill, check ~/.gemrc /etc/gemrc for --user-install some systems do that - like arch linux
<goodwill>
mpapis: yup, that was it
<goodwill>
mpapis: thank you
<goodwill>
mpapis: another question ... if GEM_HOME was specified is it possible to generate package binaries that are aware of the path, or do I need to set it myself everytime
<mpapis>
please explain, like ruby that can be moved to different path or just gems?
<goodwill>
the gems
<goodwill>
lets say I am installing sass into a custom GEM_HOME
<goodwill>
the sass binaries that are generated are not aware by default of GEM_HOME unless I export it
<goodwill>
so I basically have to write a wrapper the exports GEM_HOME and then runs them
<goodwill>
which is fine
<goodwill>
I was just wondering if I was reinventing the wheel
<goodwill>
mpapis: ^
DanKnox_away is now known as DanKnox
<mpapis>
goodwill, looks like reinventing wheel, bundler does it with --path, although hat's not the best way, if you want to use GEM_HOME then just export it for whole shell session
<goodwill>
mpapis: I do export it right now ...
<goodwill>
mpapis: basically I want a sandboxed gem

one of rubygems shortcomings is that whoever first names a project, can decide to keep that name despite being inactive, for instance the gem called 'chemistry'
<shevy>
are there plans to allow additional names for projects, with an extra field in the .gemspec file, to specify other authors?
<drbrain>
shevy: is the gem empty? (my coffee-shop internet is slow today)
<drbrain>
shevy: rubygems already allows this
<shevy>
drbrain nope, not completely empty, but there is not much in it, let me quickly check
<drbrain>
shevy: if it has no useful value (beyond holding the name) then it may be possible to reassign it
<drbrain>
shevy: you can do: spec.authors = ['Abraham Lincoln', 'George Washington'] for multiple authors
<drbrain>
(same for email)
<shevy>
lib/ has one file called chemistry/version.rb
<shevy>
and in the directory below, one file called chemistry.rb which has a proud 21 bytes
<shevy>
there is also a test/ directory with an empty file test_chemistry.rb, and a 55 bytes test_helper.rb, literally that is the whole content of "chemistry" hehe
<shevy>
ah ok
<shevy>
thanks drbrain
<drbrain>
sounds like a "hold the namespace" gem
<drbrain>
I'd go to help.rubygems.org
