>Description:
This is an asked for reminder for Takahiro Kambe to adjust
the post-intall target of the ruby Makefile for ruby_ver
1.8 so that rdoc is run in order to generate the database
ri is working on.
Without this, ppl will see errors like the following:
ri 'Array.[]'
No ri documentation found in:
/usr/pkg/share/ri/1.8/system
/usr/pkg/share/ri/1.8/site
/home/phaeton/.rdoc

Here is answer:
rdoc was imported in Ruby-1.8.1 first and it was late stage in
release of the 1.8.1. So, there are problem to generate a
database for ri. Some of source code dosen't have proper RDOC
documentation and generated ri database is something poor.
Next release, Ruby 1.8.2 improves rdoc much better and the
database for ri would be created completely.
Sadly, Ruby 1.8.2's release is delayed and preview3 stage yet.
I will add ri database handling to ruby package when Ruby 1.8.2 is
released (and pkgsrc freeze is finished).

>How-To-Repeat:
install ruby 1.8(.1) and try to use ri.

wait for 1.8.2 :)
