How is this different than: gem unpack gemname Then adding the gemname-version/lib to $LOAD\_PATH where appropriate. Then checking in? ---

Being v. 0.0.0, I haven’t actually changed anything from the fork. 🙂 GemsOnRails is tied and exclusively compatible with a Rails implementation. GemsOnRuby will be able to be “easily :)” applied to a plain Ruby app containing not-much-more than a main.rb (or other starting point) and a ./lib directory. 🙂 Peter F.
