RubyGems in Rubinius

Last night I checked an improved version of Zlib into Rubinius, and now gems can be installed: 

$ ~/Links/RUBINIUS/shotgun/rubinius \
    -Ilib bin/gem install rake --no-ri --no-rdoc -i ~/tmp/rbxgems
Successfully installed rake-0.8.1
1 gem installed

$ GEM_HOME=~/tmp/rbxgems ~/Links/RUBINIUS/shotgun/rubinius \
    -Ilib ~/tmp/rbxgems/bin/rake --help
rake [-f rakefile] {options} targets...

Options are ...
[...]

Building the ri and RDoc information doesn't work correctly yet on Rubinius, but Rubinius is now using RDoc to generate some documentation, particularly the VM opcode information (run `rake doc:vm` in a Rubinius checkout).

Next I'm going to work on the RDoc/ri end of things some more, including improving or importing more documentation into Rubinius, and make a release of my recent RDoc changes. 3 comments

That’s great. Makes me want to run rake doc:vm and try to grasp some of the knowledge sitting around parsers/compilers, etc. Or I will hack some inverted-t fire in asm ;)

Eric,

This open a whole new world of interest for Rubinius I think. Because now things can be tested so easily. Thanks for you efforts.

Great! Can’t wait to get hacking with this. I wonder how far off Mongrel is now…
