From the README:
= How to use this
This is a test release. Some features are missing, other are fragile,
all are in ferment. I’m releasing it to bring rpkg development out of
the dark and give to those who wish some code to chew on. It mustn’t
be considered a dependable or mostly functional version.
Unpack the tarball. Put rapt' in your binary search path. Copy therpkg’ and archive' directories and thestringio.rb’ file into your
$RUBYLIB search path, preferably where you don’t need root privileges
to write.
This release does not touch your system directories and all testing is
done in rpkg/local' andrpkg/remote’; the former represents your
local filesystem, the latter everything that is accessed remotely
(tarballs, package mirrors, metadata etc.).
Please send reports, comments, patches, ideas to mmirra@libero.it.

installed first, and then dbi is installed.

$ rapt --binary install rdoc

Cd to $RUBYLIB/rpkg/local and see what has been installed, then run clean.sh to
clean directories again.
Cd to $RUBYLIB/rpkg/remote, rename sources to sources.localmirror, and
sources.remote to sources. (This file is the same as the former,
except that uptream tarballs are fetched from the original sites
instead of the rpkg:// mirror.)
