bummer. With ruby the situation is that there are executables in 1.9 which are provided by ports in 1.8. lang/ruby: ruby1.8, irb1.8 ruby/rb-rubygems: gem lang/ruby19: ruby1.9, irb1.9, gem1.9 Gems also don't allow a suffix on installation for executables. The only solution I see now is to make the symlinks to unprefixed symlinks already in the portfile, and make it plain conflicting with the ports installing unprefixed executables. Even though that makes them not fully parallel-installable. That, or some serious patching of rb-rubygems to force suffix.
