ruby does have rubygems.org now and they have almost decided that it is 
the canonical archive. (rubyforge and github being previous choices). All 
though there has beeen a schism over what 
tool to use to install gems. http://slimgems.github.com/

of course it may fail on your definition of comprehensive :)

Lets put it this way. Im happy to be back sysadmining a perl stack instead 
of a ruby stack :)
