Developers certainly can do that once they noticed that they have to. It still is annoying when you have to type more than necessary and if you have to change instructions and scripts you find elsewhere. I understand the versioning from a packaging perspective, but from a user's perspective it doesn't provide the best experience. I would prefer if we had a great out-of-the-box experience for Ruby on openSUSE which follows the conventions everybody else is using. > And as i said this only affects a few very core binaries. all our > rubygem rpms are using update-alternatives.

If YaST would rely on the specific version it is tested with and not use the default "ruby" executable it would not change the maintenance effort, would it? Wouldn't this even make things easier as there are more specific dependencies and less chance of breakage through unrelated changes in the system? -- Cornelius Schumacher <csc...@suse.de> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+ow...@opensuse.org
