Description Mathias Kegelmann 2006-01-07 07:20:16 UTC

Hi!

I noticed that there are some interesting files in the ruby TAR ball that are not copied when installing ruby using emerge.  In particular, these are the examples in the samples/ directory (which contain e.g. eval.rb which beats irb) and the emacs modes.

I think it would be nice eiher to install them by default or to introduce a use flag to specify whether a user wants these files or not.

Cheers,
Mathias

I added the sample directory to be installed in /usr/share/doc/ruby-xxx/ if you use the examples use flag.  Thanks for the report.
