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?

Also, it doesn't appear the install for ri uses DESTDIR:

    Generating RI...

        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9/ftools.rb:140:in `makedirs'

        from ./bin/rdoc:63

If it did follow DESTDIR, a normal user could install both ruby and the new
ri/rdoc files into DESTDIR without being root.
