Hello Gunnar and dear Ruby maintainers,
I'm currently off, travelling the world. Possibly I will try to bring my
Ruby package up to speed, but more probably I won't. Finding the time and
calm, internet and AC current is too much of a rare coincidence.
<rant>
Also I own a HP 6710 series laptop that contains an AMD Seymour Radeon HD
6400M/7400M Series discrete gfx chip that aparently can't be switched
off and completely randomly switches itself on and sucks all power out
of the batteries, so working off grid over more than an hour is
practically impossible. A true piece of shit hw.
</rant>
So please if anybody feels like fixing my package up, the please do so,
thanks a lot and greets to you all,
*t

Hi Tomas Pospisek,
As you may know, during the Wheezy release cycle, the pkg-ruby-extras
team¹ has worked to update the Ruby libraries/modules/gems packages to
follow a new policy, much easier for the maintainers (as we no longer
require a separate package for each interpreter version), to the
archive (as it strongly reduces code duplication), and much more
sensical to the users (as they no longer require to fiddle with which
among many almost-identical binary packages to install).
While we achieved a quite good success level during the Wheezy cycle²,
we decided to act only on the packages maintained by the group — There
are many Ruby library packages maintained by kind people (like
yourself!) which have not yet adopted this new style. According to our
records, you are currently maintaining the package:
libposixlock-ruby
