We are pleased to announce rpa-base's availability as a RubyGem:

$ gem -Ri rpa-base 
Attempting remote installation of 'rpa-base-0.1.0.gem'
Successfully installed rpa-base, version 0.1.0


$ rpa install rubygems
Installing ports
  Installing rubygems
Error: Couldn't find port rubygems. aborting


(note: must have RubyGems 0.6.1 or later http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126)

If we are lucky, Mauricio will release an RPA port of RubyGems, which
we can use to install RPA. ;)
