[Request] Showoff, a ruby-based presentation tool

Some time ago, I tried to package showoff. This is an awesome presentation tool written in ruby:

http://github.com/schacon/showoff

I'm not a ruby guy at all. After some time I figured out it is not compatible with ruby 1.9, so ruby1.8 is required. In the meantime I already uploaded the package to AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37005. This package should be ruby1.8-showoff and not ruby-showoff, and I tried later to package it with ruby1.8. The installation itself seems to work but when I try it with an example (http://github.com/schacon/pycon-hg-git for instance) I get a ruby stacktrace (the server initializes fine but dies when I try to display the presentation in a browser).

So, the request would be:

- Could anyone with enough rights on AUR remove ruby-showoff? It doesn't work at all, I'm sorry for having uploaded it without proper testing...

- Any taker for trying to package it successfully and with the correct ruby1.8-* dependencies?

That would be really awesome. Some ruby knowledge is probably required :-)

Re: [Request] Showoff, a ruby-based presentation tool

Ok, self-answering... I tried again with other presentations and it worked fine.

The package at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37005 still needs to be deleted, I can upload the working one (ruby1.8-showoff) and its dependencies if anyone is interested.

Upload it anyway - you don't need user interest to submit stuff to the AUR.

Re package deletion, ask on the aur-general mailing list if you don't get an answer here.
