What command did you run for the following output?

# On your system:
thin (1.2.7)
- daemons (>= 1.0.9)
- eventmachine (>= 0.12.6)
- rack (>= 1.0.0)

actionpack (2.3.5)
- activesupport (= 2.3.5)
- rack (~> 1.0.0)

rack (1.0.0)
rack (1.1.0)
activesupport (2.3.5)
daemons (1.0.9)
eventmachine (0.12.6)

We did not default to $GEM_HOME due to the fact that the majority of people on OS X have $GEM_HOME in a directory owned by root, which would require running the bundle install command using sudo (and which would break other things).

This will be revised for 0.10, which will default to $GEM_HOME and have a work around for the sudo problem on OS X.

But I don’t understand why Bundler installs to ~/.bundle instead of to ~/.gem.

Switching between groups of gems is ala RVM is equivalent to having multiple named environments, and this article explains why Bundler doesn’t do that.

Is it possible to load up many different gemenv’s at once? For instance, have one for Rails related stuff, one for sinatra, one for other tools, so that you could easily switch between groups of gems when using something like rvm or just to easily manage larger sets of gems.

After reading this post, I think I finally understand the reasons for Bundler. I admit that I’ve been skeptical, but I think you’ve now sold me. Thanks for your continued evangelization of this new tool.
