Bug #7779: embedded rubygems 2.0.0.rc.2 mangles --user-install

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: drbrain (Eric Hodel)
• Target version: 2.0.0
• ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2013-02-04 trunk 39035) [i686-linux]

This is low priority for my usage, and while I'm not investigating the issue anytime soon, I'm surfacing it here in case it's not my system issue and it affects 2.0.0 readiness. I didn't see anything similar on RG's GH issue tracker.

  --user-install. [ruby-trunk - Bug #7779]

Thanks Eric. Install looks good but gem up xxx --user-install was missed.

If you want this opened as a new issue (here or on RG issues) let me know.
