Except... upstream has moved to SVN, so this ebuild no longer works. It's
now masked and will be removed in 30 days.
Is there any point in waiting 30 days? Since the ebuild just doesn't
work because of a VCS change, it's clear it won't work at all for anyone
no matter how much hacking they do. The 30 day rule in this case should
not apply.
Yes ... upstream moved to SVN right around the first of the year. If you
want, I'll file something in bugzilla to get the details for Ruby 1.9
into Portage as an enhancement. Most of my Rubyist friends go right to
the source repositories anyhow, so I'm not sure it even needs to be in
Portage at this point. 1.9 is scheduled for release around Christmas 2007.
"jRuby" should be closely tracked, however -- they will be at 1.0 in a
few weeks, I think.
