I thought you were talking about a quick script that will write an ebuild from a gem. I'm getting curious though and think I may look into this deeper. Looks like you would have to scan the metadata.gz if you dont have a gemspec. There is some talk from some of the devs about purging gems from portage and having a separate utility for installing them like g-cpan for all the Perl cpan modules... -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972
