Hi guys,

MacPorts contains packages of many versions of Ruby, similarly to the Python 
and Perl groups, but the corresponding “ruby_select” port does not 
automatically create the links needed to access commands “ruby”, “gem” etc. I 
was able to get around this by using “sudo port select” manually, but would it 
be possible for someone to fix “ruby_select” so that the ports “ruby$n” work 
properly “out of the box".

Also, the port actually called “ruby” is very old (version 1.8.7) and “port 
notes ruby” deprecates it. Should it be removed from MacPorts? Or reincarnated 
as “ruby18”, dropping “ruby186” as well?

Cheers,
Ian Wadham.
