rubygem-rdoc doesn't provide Ruby documentation
Last modified: 2012-09-18 22:58:31 EDT
On a fresh F17 installation, rubygem-rdoc-3.12.3.fc17 doesn't provide standard ruby documentation : $ ri String Nothing known about String (same thing whatever is given to ri..) Expected results should be : = String < Object ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ = Includes: Comparable (from ruby core) (...)
As it is common for many rubygems, the documentation is split into the -doc subpackage, i.e. # yum install rubygem-rdoc-doc should solve your issue.
I don't speak about the rubygem-rdoc documentation but of the documentation of ruby itself...
I've found that removing the whole ruby stuff and reinstalling with yum install rubygem-rdoc.x86_64 "solves" the problem. As the .x86_64 (3.9.4-15.fc17) package does contains the documentation. The rubygem-rdoc.noarch is newer (3.12-3.fc17) and miss the ruby documentation...

Actually you were right. I split the Ruby's documentation out of the rubygem-rdoc into its own -doc subpackage, so the updates to rubygem-rdoc will not remove the Ruby's documentation. There was also bug in rubygem-rdoc (wrong documentation search patch) and I fixed it as well.

I've updated to the two package mentionned in the previous comment but my problem is still there : $ ri String Nothing know about String
Well... Sorry. Installing ruby-doc fixes the problem. All is fine, now.
