ruby package seems to be left behind

V01D · 2006-10-01 05:58:17

Ruby is on 1.8.4 while 1.8.5 came out a while ago. Package is flagged out of date, and last commit to CVS was 2 months ago. Is there any problem with it?

Thanks
PS: Sorry if this is the incorrect section for posting (maybe this could be a bug request?).

Try mailing the Maintainer: dorphell , dorphell@archlinux.org about it.

If you have the time, it would be helpful for the maintainer if you tried to compile the newest version by changing the abs-pkgbuild to find out how many problems there are.
Often all that's needed is changing the version number and md5sums.

I'll try to compile later.

Thanks

I can't remember very well where I've heard it , but doesn't Ruby on Rails have problems with the 1.8.5 version ?

Yes (noticed this after googling). It seems that a library included on RubyOnRails (breakpoint) is broken. Couldn't find a workaround/patch, but I'll google some more later.

Yeah, there's some breakage, but there are workarounds. Just some helpful links, as I'm not actually burning for an official Ruby 1.8.5 Arch package; I'm happy to roll my own, but I guess it's nice to see my fav language's packages being kept up-to-date !
