I don't think we should have different alternatives configurations for the the various ruby-related binaries. If a user decides that she wants "Ruby 1.9", then ruby, irb, gem etc, should all be the ones provided by Ruby 1.9; I think that irb/gem/etc should be slaves of the choice for /usr/bin/ruby. IMO such ruby-switcher tool is an unecessary layer on top of something that already does what we need to be done, and has years of testing (i.e. the Debian alternatives system). Lucas, could you please ellaborate on why you think we should have different alternatives for each Ruby-related binary? -- Antonio Terceiro <[email protected]> http://softwarelivre.org/terceiro
