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

So, I'm thinking about doing the following? Is this OK with everyone?

Hi,
I've finally found a combination that will reliably segfault. Since my first post on this topic, I've switched the backend from BDB to GDBM.

Here's what I did that caught me up. Installed ruby_1_8 branch in my home directory for testing under ~/stmp; Then tried ~/stmp/bin/ri Array#length Of course this fails because I need to do ~/stmp/bin/ruby ~/stmp/bin/ri Array#length to pick up the correct ruby Not a big deal. OTOH I used to work at a site which had thousands of users and maintained separate /prod, /beta, and /devel mounts for all software officially "released". The idea being that some users could run from /beta/bin while most were still using /prod/bin. Etc. You get the idea. To try out the new version you'd run /devel/bin/ruby. My worry is that people will explicitly run /devel/bin/irb and not realize that it's not new version but the old one. The one that's in their PATH. In my case, I'd be getting ri documentation from /prod/lib/ruby when I thought I was explicitly asking for /devel/lib/ruby Another way this could screw up is if someone were trying to automate tasks via scipting. Say for example you want to generate a bunch of rdoc documentation from some common directories via cron. A naive sysadmin might do the following /usr/local/bin/rdoc ... This has the potential to fail due to a mis-configured PATH. To be safe you'd do /usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/local/bin/rdoc ... or PATH=/usr/local/bin /usr/local/bin/rdoc ... Even worse, the update_my_rdoc script above might fail for some users while it works for others. In my own case, I could do cd ~/stmp/bin; ./ri and it will still fail. I'm saved by my knowledge that ri is really a ruby script but naive users might find it confusing. -J
