then i cd to that dir and run: /usr/bin/env LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 RB_USER_INSTALL=yes /usr/local/bin/gem19 build --force json_pure-1.8.1.gemspec

the end of "gem help build" actually says:
<swills>
$ gem build my_gem-1.0.gemspec
<swills>
so i would think gem build whatever.gemspec should work...
<swills>
perhaps i'm confused
<swills>
or not understanding something
<swills>
well, i'm sure that's true, heh

drbrain: any hints/
<swills>
?
<swills>
it's strange, json_pure-1.8.1.gemspec looks like yaml but json_pure.gemspec looks like ruby

ok, so using the json_pure.gemspec file seems to work OK and i can drop --force
<swills>
question now is why am i not getting docs
<swills>
does gem build no longer build docs?
<swills>
i guess maybe it's off by default in gem install now
<swills>
so rdoc isn't default, but ri is? weird.
<swills>
and it looks liek i should should use --document/--no-document instead
<swills>
ok, works for me

oh, except some gems don't have a ${GEMNAME}.gemspec
<swills>
the have ${GEMNAME}-${GEMVERSION}.gemspec
<capin>
sup
<swills>
help me drbrain, you're my only hope! ;)
<capin>
anyone here use the helios gem before?
<capin>
helios.io
<swills>
ah, .io
<swills>
so trendy
<swills>
drbrain: so uh, if a gem file has only the metadata (yaml) and no .gemspec in it, how is one to build it?
<swills>
using gem build that is

so it looks like older versions of gem used ot let you build based on the yaml but now you can't?

swills: i think everyone is away for the holidays :/
<swills>
capin: yeah, i figure
<swills>
it's too bad i don't have time for this stuff at $dayjob
<swills>
i think i recall trying to update gem once before and having to write some code to turn the yaml into ruby but i forget now
<swills>
i know i saved that code, but i can't find it...
