#197 Ruby Guidelines inconsitency
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by vondruch.

Hi,

It was pointed out that the Ruby Packaging Guidelines are inconsistent a bit. In the example in building gems chapter [1], there is used ./%{_bindir} and ./%{gem_dir} on several places while on the other places there is missing a slash, e.g. there is used .%{_bindir} and .%{gem_dir} respectively.

Would you mind to make the example a bit more consistent and remove the slashes from everywhere, since they are superfluous (and it looks ugly in the logs ;)).

Thank you.

+1 for consistency. I think someone specifically asked for "./%{_bindir}" though. I think they thought with ".%{_bindir}" it was too easy to miss the ".". If adding the slash everywhere is okay with you, I'll just fix it as it's just a clarification.

Eh, what can I say? :) I already expressed my preferences. Just to put it into context, this issue was pointed out at [1] and it was also about removing the slashes.

EASYFIX, just do it one way or the other. Don't want to bikeshed here. Toshio, pick one. :)

Done. The Guidelines now use ./%{DIR} everywhere.
