Hi, 

I would like to suggest introducing FLAVOR to Ruby ports.

AFAIK multiple version of Ruby ports (lang/ruby??) can be installed at
the same time.  One of these ruby ports will be *default* installed as
PREFIX/bin/ruby. In contrast of Ruby lang, rubygem ports cannot be
installed for multiple Ruby version at the same time.

I would say Ruby and rubygem ports needs FLAVORS like Python ports.
In Python ports, the same origin py- ports can be installed for multiple
versions such as py27, py35, py36. If the same thing can be done with
Ruby ports, FreeBSD Ruby ports will be much improved.

I would appreciate if you Ruby folks bounce some ideas off each other.
Let me know if someone's already working on FLAVORS on Ruby. Is there
something that I can help you with?

Thanks,
