You may get some pushback because other package systems don't do the equivalent of "make deinstall; make reinstall", but it is worth asking. I alway think of "make install" as "push the binaries that we just made into the proper places", not "make some more stuff and then push". I agree that having ports which create new stuff in the install phase is sub-optimal, but ruby is far from alone here. OTOH what may be useful is separating the docs into their own port. hth, Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/ Computers are useless.
