Hi

I've been meaning to ask this for a while... what is the motivation for 
including individual Ruby gems in ports?  It strikes me as unnecessary 
duplication, as the gem tool works well on its own, even for gems with C 
code.  Are there many gems with FreeBSD-specific extensions or dependencies?

And which is preferable - pure gems or ports+gems?

Ta
Ashley
