Details

Just an idea; Instead of making symlinks to /usr/bin/ for the jruby scripts just add the following file as jruby.sh in /etc/profile.d;

Also, jruby.sh and jruby.bash can both be removed from the package as there is next to no difference between them and jruby;

/opt/jruby/bin/jirb could also be added to /etc/shells
   jruby.sh (0.1 KiB)
This task depends upon

Ah crap. Package is jruby; any way I can edit the main feature request?

The path choice is significant:
An installed gem, irb, ri, rake or rdoc from system ruby is not overwritten, yet e.g. "jruby -S irb" does launch /opt/jruby/bin/irb.

Using the jruby.sh method also delays any changes until the next profile load (typically at login).

No, jirb has no useful purpose as a login shell.
