The Gentoo setup can do this too. It install gems for all supported,=20 desired, ruby implementations, and keeps separate gem hierarchies for=20 each ruby implementation, so you can use different ruby implementations=20 for different applications if you want. This is all part of the ruby-ng.eclass, which all packages in testing=20 use, and which is currently being pushed into stable. Kind regards, Hans
