Details

rubygem packages can be created using https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacgem/

These packages have the name ruby-* and depends on ruby. Furthermore they depend on other rubygems. However namcap doesn't check these packages correctly. It warns that the dependency 'ruby' and the dependencies for the other gems are unnecessary.

It might be good to add a module to namcap to check for the validity of ruby packages.
This task depends upon

I'm not really sure whether or not to agree on this because using rubygems directly (ie with `gem install ..`) is used a lot.
It makes sense for stuff like python packages because they are used more than pip is, but for ruby I don't think it does really does make sense.

Yes, there's something messed up here with the new bundle. gem install by anyone other than root requires permission changes in /usr/lib and /usr/bin even with $(ruby -rubygems -e "puts Gem.user_dir")/bin in the PATH variable.

I should add the problem shows up when you try 'rails new demo'.

@Mike: Do you mean when you use pacgem? Do you also have GEM_HOME=$(ruby -rubygems -e "puts Gem.user_dir")/ ? I ask because I don't have this issue (but I'm not using pacgem either).

@Ashley, No, I don't use pacgem. I have GEM_HOME set in my PATH.export PATH=$PATH:$(ruby -rubygems -e "puts Gem.user_dir")/bin but not GEM_HOME. It's not very consistent. I built one machine at home and all I had were path problems. This machine required me to change permissions on /usr/lib and /usr/bin. I am building my laptop now, so we will see how that one goes.

The ticket didn't get touched since february 2014. Is this still an issue?
I also tried the pacgem tool to check how namcap behaves. But pacgem itself threw an error, see https://github.com/minad/pacgem/issues/28.
