I have this problem:

-there are two usable versions of ruby in fink
  -ruby 1.6.8
  -ruby 1.8.0

-there is an application (freeride) that works with either version but
 it needs two extensions to the interpreter
  -fxruby
  -ripper

The extensions are packaged for both versions of interpreter
  ripper-ruby16, ripper-ruby18, fxruby-ruby16, fxruby-ruby18

The interpreters have packages
   ruby16, splitoff ruby 1.6.8, ruby18, splitoff ruby 1.8.0
  Each splitoff contains a link /sw/bin/ruby that points to ruby1.6 or ruby1.8.
  So installing ruby-1.6.8-2 makes ruby1.6 the default interpreter named just ruby.

Now the application needs that the default interpreter ruby has both extensions.

to show some possible configurations that do not work:
  ruby16 + ruby18 + ruby 1.8.0 + ripper-ruby16 + fxruby-ruby18 + freeride
  ruby16 + ruby18 + ruby 1.8.0 + ripper-ruby16 + fxruby-ruby16 + freeride

This means that just Provides: fxruby or Depends: fxruby-ruby16 | fxruby-ruby18,...
is not enough to make fink install the correct packages.

So I made ripper-ruby16 0.0.5-2 that has a splitoff ripper 0.0.5-2-16,
 ripper-ruby18 with splitoff ripper 0.0.5-2-18, etc.

Now there are two objections from the person who looked at it:
 - dash in revision is illegal - can be simply replaced with something else
 - these splitoffs do not look quite right

So i would like to know what is the right solution.

thanks
