Hi all,

I have had conversations with Paul on packaging RubyGems for a year. My
private `rubygems` package is available:
deb http://www.sgtpepper.net/hyspro/deb unstable/
deb-src http://www.sgtpepper.net/hyspro/deb unstable/

I received a patch from a user and updated it today.

I wonder if files in /usr/lib should be under control of dpkg (deb)
because of Debian Policy.
How do you think?


Is there an answer for the order of Load Path: site-ruby, system-ruby,
gem-ruby?



Thanks,
Daigo
