Ruby is CRUCIAL for things portupgrade but not portmanager. For the latter a C compiler, make, etc. is needed, which FreeBSD already provides. portmanager OPTIONALLY needs ruby to convert pkgtools.conf (portupgrade) to its configuration format (by way of running pkgtools-to-portmanager.rb). > Good luck there are almost no dependencies for ruby itself: Indeed, unlike python or the pig that is gnome. - Parv -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
