if you are using debian there is a package called “ri”. but since it
depends on ruby 1.6 i don’t think it includes 1.8 specific things :frowning:

I wondered where to find ri for 1.8 too and ending up asking in
#ruby-lang on freenode. What would be nice, IMO, is listing the download
URL in this notice:

This is a test ‘ri’. Please report errors and omissions
on http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RIOnePointEight

…so then you could say something like:

This is a test ‘ri’. (download at: RDoc: NO LONGER ACTIVE—part of Ruby download | SourceForge.net) Please report
errors and omissions on http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RIOnePointEight

…or something like that because I think most people’s (persons’s?)
first experiance with ‘ri’ is seeing it in a post somewere.

Googling for “ri 1.8” eventually yields the link:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/rdoc/ri-1.8b.tgz?download

Enjoy,
Gennady.

P.S.
Thanks to Dave Thomas for his efforts
