[Rubygems-developers] Anothor UI wrinkle.

[Hugh Sasse]

Doing gem update I get

Attempting remote installation of 'fxruby'
Select which gem to install for your platform (sparc-solaris2.9)
  1. fxruby 1.2.6 (mswin32)
  2. fxruby 1.2.6 (ruby)

  4. fxruby 1.2.5 (mswin32)

  10. fxruby 1.2.2 (ruby)
  11. fxruby 1.2.1 (mswin32)
  12. fxruby 1.2.1 (ruby)
  13. Cancel installation
> 10

I submit that the last item should be  "Skip installation of this gem".
Cancel installation suggests that it might abandon the update altogether.


Also, when doing an install of rails on a PC I get requests for
prerequisites with the form
     thingumybob [Yn]
as the the prompt.  I presumed that the upper case meant default,
but this did seem to be defined.  Would it make sense to allow 'a'
for All prerequisites for this gem?

         Thank you,
         Hugh
