A note about sudo ----------------- Please see the section SUDO USAGE in the bundle-install(1) man page about bundler's usage of sudo. The short version is this: if you always use "bundle install --path", sudo is not called. If you don't give "--path", bundler installs gems into the same location as "gem install", which is not writable by normal users on Debian systems (and therefore sudo is called). -- Christian Hofstaedtler Tue, 13 Mar 2012 00:17:56 +0100 About /var/lib/gems ------------------- Bundler needs /var/lib/gems/$RUBY_VERSION (really: Gem.path) to exist, even if it runs as non-root. To avoid this bootstrapping issue, this package creates empty directories for the current Ruby interpreter versions. -- Christian Hofstaedtler Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:13:35 +0200
