 I am not familiar with OpenEmbedded or Bitbake. Can someone add Ruby 1.8.6
 and Ruby 1.9 to the repository? Possibly, we can remove Ruby 1.8.5 from the
 repository since Ruby 1.8.6 is a grammar-compatible upgrade to 1.8.5 with
 significant improvements IIRC.

 Alternatively, if someone can guide me, I can add these myself. I mean,
 add the bitbake recipe so that the build host will compile and upload its
 ipk file to the GTA01/02 repository.


 One issue I faced when compiling was that 'ar' on the phone is supplied by
 Busybox and doesn't provide the features the compilation required. I
 symlinked arm-angstrom-linuxeabi-ar to 'ar'and things worked fine.


Please put this in a wiki page.

I am not sure if this is possible. It seems the  compilation creates a
'miniruby' executable, which generates/compiles the rest of the code base. I
am not sure how that can be done on a build host. I am compiling it directly
on the phone as of now.

Just take a look at how we did it with ruby 1.8.x in OE. The canonical way to 
deal with something like that is add a foo-native package to OE and fix the 
foo package to call the native tool instead.
