RubyGems for Ruby 1.9

[Damian Terentyev]

Good day all!
I have problems installing and running RubyGems with Ruby 1.9.
Most of all they arise because of File.exists? method was changed to=20
File.exist?, but there may be other inconsistencies as well.
Has anyone successfully installed RubyGems for 1.9?
Maybe it is possible to get RubyGems from subversion repository?

I also have another question =E2=80=94 maybe anyone knows what was the =
purpose=20
of changing the name of the aforementioned method, because at first=20
sight it seems to contradict Ruby english-like syntax and the Principle=20=

of Least Surprise.

Yours sincerely,
Damian/Three-eyed Fish=

Do you have a patch? Please file it in the RubyGems bug tracker. =20
(If you post it here, I'm sure it will get lost.)

Has anyone successfully installed RubyGems for 1.9?

Not recently, no. 1.9 is too much of a moving target to say any =20
particular piece of software is guaranteed to work with it.

Maybe it is possible to get RubyGems from subversion repository?

Unlikely. I don't believe any such changes have been made.

I also have another question =97 maybe anyone knows what was the =20
purpose of changing the name of the aforementioned method, because =20
at first sight it seems to contradict Ruby english-like syntax and =20

It was deprecated in 1.8.=
