Subject: [ruby-core:71633] [Ruby trunk - Feature #11731] Make ruby gem install to user-directory by default
Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2015 22:56:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <redmine.journal-55033.20151122225640.6b43e43454988198@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: redmine.issue-11731.20151122203028@ruby-lang.org
Issue #11731 has been updated by Alexander von Gluck.
yeah, the large number of workarounds show this is a pretty default workflow for people. Thus raises the question on why it isn't the default behavior.
----------------------------------------
Feature #11731: Make ruby gem install to user-directory by default
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11731#change-55033
* Author: Alexander von Gluck
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal

----------------------------------------
Installing gem's system-wide doesn't make sense 99% of the time...
* Linux -- Need root access via sudo
* Windows -- Need administrator
* Max OS X -- Need root access via sudo
* Haiku -- /boot/system read-only
gem currently installs gems system-wide by default
Since the most common use-case is to install gems for your own
user, why doesn't gem --user-directory by default?
Tools like rvm already set this manually.
Making --user-directory default means package maintainers only
need to --no-user-directory while everyone else just gem install's
