This point is often discussed on the ruby-talk mailing list too. And I totally agree with what is said in this quote. > Can the packaging be changed so that libruby1.8 contains all libraries that > have no external dependencies, and the only libraries which are split out > are those like tk, gtk, curses etc. ? Actually, even tk and curses are part of the ruby std-lib. For a full list of what libraries should be installed when installing ruby-1.8, see http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/ That would be really really great to have a standard ruby installation using debian packages instead of having to install from sources in order to be sure every ruby program we get will run...
