I will look into your suggestions and see what I can use, thanks. I already have several testing reports but I wait for the ruby update to 1.8.2 before I will send my updated patches. >> A rubygem module can then be installed like a normal port/package: >> >> # cd /usr/ports/devel/gem-rake && make install clean-depedens >> Or >> # pkg_add gem-rake-0.5.4.tgz > > I'm not sure about this.

There are some ruby programs and libraries (like typo) that depend on installed gems like rake or rails. Further gems that depend on other non-gem libraries can depend on them too. The mysql-gem can than depend on the mysql-libs. Further you do not need to learn yet another management program. Just use the pkg/ports system and you are done.
