I noticed some ruby scripts are broken with ruby 1.8.0 and don't want to upgrade ruby to 1.8 on several machines. Ruby-shim will not be maintained for long periodes, but still it is useful for us to get smooth transition. > 2) Older 1.6.8 packages will no longer be supported. I disagree with this option because there will be a certain number of people who stick to use 1.6.8 and they will want packages supporting 1.6.8 as well as 1.8. Of course I am one of those ;-) -- Mamoru KOMACHI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://dev.gentoo.org/~usata/ -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
