I also think that with Ruby finally moving to 2.0 it would be a good chance for Debian to finally clean up the virtual package mess that is Ruby, I don't literally mean it's a mess but in that 1.9.3 pulls 1.9.1 which can lead to come confusion for some people, for example when a client asks me why their system says it has 1.9.1 but it reports 1.9.3 it's a pain to have to explain that to them. I think it should at that point in the next release after wheezy officially be 1.9.3 and 2.0 each in their own package with 1.9.1 being dropped (since 1.9.3 is fully backwards with 1.9.1) and no more of this virtual packaging for Ruby, but I don't know how easy or annoying it would be for you guys to drop the virtual packaging on system Ruby's but I know it turns into a pain to explain to people why Debian has an illogical package name for system Ruby. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
