There's a bug in rubygems-1.0.1 that doesn't set the proper exitcode on failure, so the line in gems.eclass: gem install ${GEM_SRC} --version ${PV} ${myconf} \ --local --install-dir "${D}/${GEMSDIR}" || die "gem install failed" the die never gets called. Filed an upstream bug at http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=17438&group_id=126&atid=575
Created attachment 143775 [details, diff] work around the missing exit status until rubygems is fixed This patch implements a work-around until rubygems is fixed. I'm probably not the world's best bash programmer, so comments are welcome!
Closing this bug since dev-ruby/rubygems-1.0.1 is no longer in the tree, and this got fixed upstream, and consequently is fixed in all versions currently in the tree. Josh, thanks for reporting it there.
