I had started updated to 1.9.2 but only spent a few hours on it and did not finish I think it would be better to have it but I can not decide before studying the impact If someone wants to work on it, Patch0 can be dropped and replaced with this option to configure: - --with-sitedir=%_prefix/lib/ruby/site_ruby \ - --with-vendordir=%_prefix/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby \ + --with-rubylibprefix=%_prefix/lib/ruby \
