I don't think it's a good idea. It might looks fine from the
rubygems camp side, but for projects not using rubygems it
means that you wouldn't be able to do 'require rmagick' and do
the work. Even worse, for non-rubygems applications you will
need to run it via `ruby -rrubygems /path/to/app` instead of
just `app`. As an example of this try running bluecloth from
the rubygem-bluecloth package:
% ruby /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/BlueCloth-1.0.1/bin/bluecloth
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/BlueCloth-1.0.1/bin/bluecloth:15:in `require': no such file to load -- bluecloth (LoadError)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/BlueCloth-1.0.1/bin/bluecloth:15
Personally, I'm not in favor of having these two ports either, I actually
requested the removal of rubygem- version immediately upon commit:
http://www.mail-archive.com/cvs-all@freebsd.org/msg149854.html
Not sure why it didn't happen though. But since other ports now depend on
it, we probably cannot do it anymore. :-(
