[MacRuby-devel] MacRuby gem only

[Keith Gautreaux]

Presumably Macruby gems will be installed with macgem?  Certainly, we
would not want to fork RubyGems, but since the Gem::Platform spec
exists shouldn't macgem only install gems whose Gem::Platform::RUBY is
MacRuby?

For projects like JRuby and Rubinius it makes sense to always have
Gem::Platform::RUBY == 'ruby', but isn't MacRuby a superset of Ruby
the way Objective-C is a superset of C?

As long as RubyGems prevents installation of gems whose
Gem::Platform::RUBY == 'MacRuby' on stock YARV installations I think
this approach is reasonable, but IANEH (I Am Not Eric Hodel).
