Reading through the RPA transcript, it's not clear that the non-RDoc documentation is actually built. There's copious details of everything else, yet no mention of that. Yet the dev-utils RPA, as opposed to the dev-utils gem, specifies a dependency on cstemplate and redcloth. Are they actually used? This is interesting as a matter of packaging policy. I'd like to assist users in building local documentation, but in this era of universal Internet access, people (I think) tend to just hit the website, which has exactly the same information. Cheers, Gavin BTW, I can't install dev-utils with rpa-base 0.2.2. I know earlier versions had an issue with Cygwin, but thought that was resolved. Besides, I don't see any error messages during the install: $ rpa install dev-utils Installing ports Getting port dev-utils from http://rpa-base.rubyforge.org/ports/dev-utils_1.0-1.rps. 100% [========================================] 30720 bytes Building dev-utils (1.0-1).
