Hi, The ruby team intends to file a stable request for ruby 1.9 in a week or so. Most packages using ruby use the ruby-ng and ruby-fakegem eclasses where the RUBY_TARGETS mechanism selectively handles ruby 1.9 compatibility. However, there are also packages depending directly on dev-lang/ruby, and some of these may have compatibility issues. If you are maintaining such a package, then please have a look at compatibility, preferably before we file the stable request.

When in doubt and out of time for testing you might want to change your dependency to refer to dev-lang/ruby:1.8 instead. If you have questions or concerns, please let us know.
