It would be somewhat cool if ruby-build knew how to look for an rbenv folder to install rubies into, or if rbenv knew how to drive ruby-build to put rubies in the right directory, but otherwise it's pretty nice.


That's a good idea... ruby-build could provide an `rbenv-install` plugin command for rbenv.


ruby-build seems fairly small. Have you considered just including it inside rbenv's bin directory?

That may decrease the friction and improve the 'git checkout rbenv, add path, and get started' workflow.


It is fairly small, but I think part of the idea is to decouple rbenv from how or with what tools you build Rubies. (It might make sense, though, for someone to create and maintain a fork that bundles ruby-build and rbenv.)



I was just about to go an do this. Has anyone else yet?
