I am going to edit this page because it is a stub, although I don't know much about what I'm doing.

I removed the "See Also" link to Watir Testing because I don't see any relevance. I also added an external link to gemjack.com because it's very handy (and relevant). 218.215.32.173 12:09, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There seem to be some philosophical issues regarding Rubygems "breaking" some debian standards and therefore not being supported/included by Debian, Ubuntu, etc. ([[1]], [[2]]).

I can't get to the bottom of this and don't know if these references are good enough to warrant the subject getting a mention on this page. 78.150.240.64 (talk)

I'm the RubyGems maintainer and nobody has filed a bug against RubyGems wrt Debian standards, nor have they posted a list of what is broken and a pointer into the specs. drbrain (talk) 23:50, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yumish?[edit]

Am I reading too much into it thinking that gem is inspired by yum syntax (yum/gem install, yum/gem list)?203.129.33.32 (talk) 03:41, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unsure. gem has several more commands than that. It is simply easier to just type such instructions, rather than do "gem --list" - 84.113.183.242 (talk) 16:44, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Created[edit]

The article at http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8967 states that rubygems was created in 2003:

"In November 2003, Rich Kilmer, Chad Fowler, David Black, Paul Brannan and Jim Weirch got together at a Ruby conference and started coding." 84.113.183.242 (talk) 16:44, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
