Why no docs for ruby ?

Hello

I was recently left without my internet connection for a couple of days 
or so. As I had some time off, I thought I could use it to start reading 
on the ruby documentation offline.

Much to my surprise, despite I new I had all packages installed, I could 
find no ruby documentation installed. The executable was there and was 
running fine. ri and rdoc (the ruby documentation system) did not work 
either.

So my time offline was not so productive, and even without being much of 
a ruby user, I still feel somehow this is not fair since all other 
script languages I know of (tcl, python, perl) come packaged with their 
documentation.

I can see in the .SlackBuild script that ruby is configured with
	--disable-install-doc
option, and I can also see old ruby package for Slackware 13.1 used to 
include ri documentation in /usr/share/ri/. Currently I get no 
/usr/share/ri folder after installing the ruby package.

Why was the documentation removed ? Can the ruby package please include 
ruby documentation again ?

Thank you,
Timothy Madden
