[DRE-maint] Bug#654550: rbenv: Should work seamlessly with system rubygems.

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Package: rbenv
Version: 0.1.2+git20100922-1
Severity: wishlist

I was kind of hoping that the Debian rbenv package would solve the problems
existing with rubygems in Debian. In particular, that it would
automatically create and/or use scripts that point to the currently
selected Ruby version for the gems installed system-wide.

However, this is what happens:

  [matijs at ...] rbenv global 1.8.7-debian
  [matijs at ...] sudo gem1.8 install bundler
  [sudo] password for matijs: 
  Successfully installed bundler-1.0.21
  1 gem installed
  [matijs at ...] rbenv rehash  
  [matijs at ...] which bundle
  /usr/local/bin/bundle
  [matijs at ...] head -n 1 /usr/local/bin/bundle
  #!/usr/bin/ruby1.8

  [matijs at ...] rbenv global 1.9.3-debian
  [matijs at ...] which bundle
  /usr/local/bin/bundle
  [matijs at ...] head -n 1 /usr/local/bin/bundle
  #!/usr/bin/ruby1.8

So, executing just bundle will still use ruby 1.8.

What I would really like to happen is one of the following:

- Bug #637914 is resolved, and rbenv adds the path that is appropriate for
  the selected Ruby verion to PATH.
- rbenv creates shims for any script it finds in /usr/local/bin that starts
  with a ruby hashbang.

A combination of the two is also fine :-).

Kind regards,
Matijs van Zuijlen
