Hi.
I'll start updating Ruby based packages:
1. Ruby language and extention libraries included in Ruby distribution.
2. Migrate other Ruby packages with updating version if necessary.
3. Remove ruby-base pacakge which will be obsoleted.
I've checked 75 packages under NetBSD current, NetBSD 1.6.2 and pkgsrc
on SuSE Linux 9.1.
Until removing ruby-base pacakge, Ruby based packages may lose its
consistency.
Some othre notes:
o You can specify default Ruby's version by setting RUBY_VERSION_DEFAULT
to 1.6 or 1.8 in /etc/mk.conf.
o Ruby language core package is language/ruby18 or language/ruby18.
These package will install commands as ${PREFIX}/bin/ruby18 or
${PREFIX}/bin/ruby16. ${PREFIX}/bin/ruby is installed by language/ruby
package which isn't meta package any more.
Cheers.
