Hi, We should decide on what we are going to ship in squeeze, regarding Ruby.
I think that: - the Ruby community is not adopting Ruby 1.9 yet, and many libraries are still lacking support for it. Trying to support it now would be premature. However, we could ship it as a "technology preview", like we shipped 1.9.0 in the past. - We cannot support two Ruby 1.9 versions in squeeze (1.9.0 and 1.9.1). We should support only the latest one. - Work on a new way to package Ruby libraries (new ruby policy) should be postponed to after squeeze. Since Ruby 1.9 is not being adopted, and JRuby is now in non-free, there's also less urgency to make the switch. Comments? Proposed actions: - All packages currently build-depending or depending on Ruby 1.9.0 must switch to Ruby 1.9.1 or completely drop the dependency on Ruby 1.9.*. - ruby1.9 (providing Ruby 1.9.0) must be removed from Debian. Does someone know something about the Ruby 1.9.2 plans? I've read they have been delayed, but I don't know the new plans. Should we try to release squeeze with 1.9.2 instead of 1.9.1?
