Hi all,
so I just installed Jaunty (which rocks) and now took a look at what Rails version is in the repos ... it's 2.1.0 (which doesn't quite rock that much).
Which means that nothing really changes; the Rails version in the repositories is still not much use to me (and probably any other serious Rails developer either) and I'll end up installing it through RubyGems again. If I should decide to use Ubuntu's own rubygems, I'll have to alter my path to include /var/lib/gems/.../bin afterwards which isn't exactly "Ubuntuian" either, having to edit paths by hand and so on.
My question is: am I the only one who thinks getting up and with Ruby on Rails under Ubuntu is a bit of a pain in the neck? Shouldn't at least the binaries installed by RubyGems be in the path by default? Or the police on the frequency of updating the Rails package be changed? Or something?
What do you think?
Cheers,
Raphael
