Hi,

[#2145] Re: Best way to install ri documentation — Richard Kilmer <rich@...> 2004/01/05

Perhaps make it available for mirrors and save ruby-lang's bandwidth?

Yes, but you have to be root to do 'make install' anyway.  Or do you?

That's why I suggested a $prefix-sensitive process:
 - if $prefix is absolute (aiming to trap /usr{/local}), then use --ri-system
 - if $prefix is relative (aiming to trap ~/ruby etc), then use --ri

That's imperfect, but the principle may have merit.  Also, if OS is
Windows, then use --ri-system.

Alternatively, allow this:

  make rdoc RI=LOCAL

or this:

  RI=LOCAL make rdoc
