Do you guys agree with that implementation?
Hi Antonio, I reviewed the ruby-common package, and it sounds very good to me. The only comment is that it should probably be a separate ruby-common source package (ruby-defaults contains only transitional packages at this point). Another option would be to call it "ruby-switcher" or "ruby-switch". What do you think? Thanks, Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
