problems installing rb-daemons

[Kevin Ballard]

Actually, it appears 1.0.3 is the current version of the daemons  
library.

The problem, it appears, is the livecheck.regex in the ruby group. It  
doesn't match anything on the daemons project page. I'm wondering if  
perhaps RubyForge changed slightly? I'll look into this further

Incidentally, I always install ruby libraries using gem. I install  
ruby via MacPorts, then rb-rubygems. Everything else I install via  
gem, or by hand. I find this to be very clean - if I have a third- 
party ruby library installed, it's not being managed by MacPorts. And  
since gem can update itself, I don't have to worry about updating it  
via MacPorts.

If you were to install some things via MacPorts and some via gem I'd  
say that's a problem. But if you're avoiding that, then that's fine.
