The RubyGems (http://rubygems.org/) developers has released a small gem called tattle (http://tattle.rubygarden.org/), that is meant to help them see what systems are being used and make gems (and other libs) work better on those platforms. If you are using gems and want them to work better on your preferred system(s), it's important that the devs know you are out there.
Tattle collects some non-personal info about what platform you are using and what path it uses, etc. On my Edgy system, the info sent looks like this:
prefix, /usr
ruby_version, 1.8.4
host_vendor, pc
ruby_install_name, ruby1.8
build, i686-pc-linux-gnu
target_cpu, i486
arch, i486-linux
rubygems_version, 0.9.0
SHELL, /bin/sh
host_os, linux-gnu
report_time, Fri Jan 12 14:49:42 CET 2007
host_cpu, i686
key, 2c09c8bceb87c43c85e364635f4bb89ce71c30c0a2e2296e03 96958d6135aa12
LIBRUBY, libruby1.8.so.1.8.4
LIBRUBY_SO, libruby1.8.so.1.8.4
target, i486-pc-linux-gnu
To install:
$ sudo gem install tattle
To submit your info:
$ tattle
If you want to see what would be posted before posting, you can do:
$ tattle report
If you are using gems, take a few seconds to help out. :)
