How do you get Ruby documentation in Texinfo format?

Question

I created the documentation for Python in Texinfo format via help from this question:

Now I want the same for Ruby.

Is the Ruby documentation available in Texinfo format?

or

Is there any easy way to create one .info file containing the documentation for Ruby 1.9.2?

I never needed it myself, but RDoc seems to have a generator for TexInfo, so you may be able to generate it yourself:

http://ruby-doc.org/ruby-1.9/classes/RDoc.html
http://ruby-doc.org/ruby-1.9/files/lib/rdoc/generator/texinfo_rb.html

There also is an unmaintained project on GitHub:

https://github.com/rdoc/rdoc-texinfo

@Michael - the github project appears to have the same code as what is behind the ruby-doc pages you cite, which is incomplete.

    # TODO: create info files and install?
