            Bug ID: 191714
           Summary: Port: lang/ruby19 does not install ri documentation
                    for ri command line tool
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: transitive at gmail.com

Typing a query with the ri command line tool does not produce the relevant ruby
documentation for the ruby core classes. 

Example Command: 
$ ri Array 
Expected Result:
ri should output the methods relevant to the ruby core Array class

Actual Result:
ri does not produce the output the methods relevant to the Array class

Workaround to install ri documentation:

One can build and install the ri documentation site wide by doing the
following:
# tar jxvf  /usr/ports/distfiles/ruby-1.9.3-p484.tar.bz2
# rdoc -R ruby-1.9.3-p484/

I haven't checked to see if the ruby20, ruby21 ports have the same issue but I
suspect they also have the same problem.  Is it possible for the port
maintainer to get the port to build the ri documentation?

Thanks
