Is update_rubygems unnecessary?

Hi all,

RubyGems's setup.rb don't install bin/update_rubygems since rev.1619.
Is this right installation?

BTW, I posted same report to RubyGems's BTS.

Thanks,

Dir.chdir 'bin' do
  bin_files = Dir['*']

  bin_files.delete 'update_rubygems' # <= ???

  bin_files.each do |bin_file|

Yes. update_rubygems is only needed by rubygems-update gem.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your response.

RubyGems in FreeBSD ports installs update_rubygems.
It don't use rubygems-update gem to update itself.

I propose that it doesn't install update_rubygems.
