Package: rubygems (1.1.1-1~bpo40+1) [backports]

package management framework for Ruby libraries/applications

This is a way to package Ruby libraries/applications for distribution. RubyGems provides the ability to manage concurrent versions of libraries and dependencies between those libraries. Using RubyGems, you can: 

  * download and install Ruby libraries easily
  * not worry about libraries A and B depending on different versions of
    library C
  * easily remove libraries you no longer use

This package contains RubyGems' commands like /usr/bin/gem.
