Hi, I'm starting this thread following recent comments in another thread about supported ruby versions & capistrano.
To summarise, Lee made the following statement concerning ruby 1.8.6: "it is effectively obsolete; and given it's age, and the catalog of problems I certainly won't go out of my way to support it here." I pointed out that Redhat-flavoured platforms (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, etc.) all come with ruby 1.8.6, including RHEL6 (still in beta) and Fedora 13 (just released) so anyone using those platforms is pretty much stuck with ruby 1.8.6. It is worth pointing out that the RH builds include a fair amount of patches that backport fixes from later ruby versions. I've since found out that kanarip [1] is working ruby 1.9.1 packages [2] for RH platforms as part of the Koji project [3] but they're not yet complete/official, I don't believe. I would therefore suggest that the capistrano project should support ruby version 1.8.6 until such time as a later version is readily available. R.
