Hi,
This is the second part of my attempt at fixing gem installation, it's
necessary because it's *not yet fixed*.
https://felipec.wordpress.com/2023/02/27/fixing-ruby-gems-installation-part…
The maintainers of rubygems continue to ignore my solution, despite
being the only one that actually works.
The patch is really simple:
https://github.com/felipec/rubygems/commit/68c0127885bc80761eb948963f9d5733…
And I created an Arch Linux package with the patch and proper overrides:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rubygems-user
It works perfectly.
It has been *twelve years* since the first issue regarding this was
reported, hopefully it will get fixed before the end of this decade
(could be fixed now if the maintainers simply applied my patch).
Cheers.
