Rubyinstaller users - Sep 2006 - Feature request: Move the /doc/ruby/ruby-1.8.4/misc to /misc or other canonical path

Rubyinstaller-users:

I want to start a discussion about this feature request:

"Move the /doc/ruby/ruby-1.8.4/misc to /misc or other canonical path"

Motivation: For Emacs on Windows users like me, it is great that the
Ruby official distribution Emacs Lisp files are included. However, it
is not placed in a canonical place. Currently in Ruby One-Click
Installer version 1.8.4-20, it is found in /doc/ruby/ruby-1.8.4/misc.
Since the path includes the version number "1.8.4", it is unreliable.
It is necessary to work around this path, as shown in installation
page:

http://wiki.rubygarden.org/Ruby/page/show/InstallingEmacsExtensions

Request: Move the
#{Config::CONFIG["exec_prefix"]}/doc/ruby/ruby-1.8.4/misc directory to
#{Config::CONFIG["exec_prefix"]}/misc or other canonical path.
I think that #{Config::CONFIG["exec_prefix"]}/misc is good. It
doesn''t
make much sense to see it inside of
#{Config::CONFIG["exec_prefix"]}/doc, IMHO.

Impact:
No impact. No internal dependancies perceived.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Clifford Caoile // http://piyokun.googlepages.com

I don''t see any reason not to do this. Can you please create a feature
request for this:

Ok, created:

[#5600] Move the /doc/ruby/ruby-1.8.4/misc to /misc or other canonical path
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?group_id=167&atid=718

It seems the installer doesn''t references the .el files explicitly,
because it''s already taken care of, in the (hand-generated?)
ruby-1.8.4-20060414-i386-mswin32.zip file. So it''s probably simplest
to move the files at the end of Step_1, right?

Best regards,
Clifford Caoile
