RubyGems and bin/

ruby-talk
1

I'll readily admit that I haven't looked into this much yet. I thought I would ask here first and get the 10,000 foot view and pointers for where to dig further.

I'm interested in RubyGems multiple versions feature. I need to be able to select the version that runs at any given time. The complication is that the gem installs a bin/ script that is the primary interface. Can someone explain how RubyGems handles that?

Thanks.

I think it is just

  myapp _1.2.3_ --options-to-my-app args_for_my_app

where 1.2.3 is the version you want to run.
Otherwise, it runs the latest version.

Is that what you are asking?
