I have to say, my opinion is the same now as it was then. Ruby support is
certainly useful to have, and we have had requests for it; but unlike Perl and
Python which are needed by many other things, nothing we have in OE-Core
actually needs Ruby; thus it really belongs in another layer IMHO.
Agreed. If we're completing the set of scripting languages there's
plenty left out. A standalone meta-ruby layer that contains the
runtime and pretty much every useful library sounds like a much better
idea as the runtime and the libraries will be in a single place and
incompatible changes can be done in a single move without having to
co-ordinate multiple layers.
I see, thanks, so I think I should send it to meta-oe at this point.
Thanks,
Jackie
