- The standard search path for Ruby libraries, `$:`, has changed in accordance with
[:Packaging/Ruby:the packaging guidelines]. Changes were also made to some of the entries
in `Config::CONFIG` in the `rbconfig` module. The most important changes include:
-
- * `sitedir` and related directories (`sitelibdir`, `sitearchdir`) are now under
`rubylibdir`. Instead of `/usr/lib/site_ruby` they are underneath
`/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby`.
- * The directories for architecture-independent pure Ruby code are always under
`/usr/lib`, even on x86_64 architecture, where they used to be under `/usr/lib64`. This
change affects the `Config::CONFIG` entries `rubylibdir` and `sitelibdir`.
-
- Directories that were previously in `$:` remain there for the time being, so that
existing code, such as `/usr/lib/site_ruby`, does not need to be modified. These
directories are deprecated though, and will be removed by the release of Fedora * 8.
Build Ruby RPM packages in accordance with [:Packaging/Ruby:the packaging guidelines]. In
particular, Ruby libraries should only be installed into `sitelibdir` and `sitearchdir`.
You should also follow this rule for Ruby code that is not packaged as an RPM.
