Hi,
I am trying to make use of xapian-bindings, which has a dependency on MacPorts'
ruby, which currently results in version 1.8.7

$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.7 (2013-06-27 patchlevel 374) [i686-darwin13]

Now I ask myself, whether this port deliberately asks for this old version, or
whether one perhaps could drop this dependency altogether, as I am obviously
having ruby installed natively in a much newer version on 10.9 and 10.10:
If the port needs ruby it should depend on a macports ruby version and
not rely on the system one, regardless of what version the system one
is. This is normal macports behavior, to provide a standard version
across all OSX versions.
Instead, why not update its dependency to one of the newer ruby ports
macports provides. There are several, going up to 2.2.X
ruby19 @1.9.3-p551 (lang, ruby)
Powerful and clean object-oriented scripting language
ruby20 @2.0.0-p643 (lang, ruby)
Powerful and clean object-oriented scripting language
ruby21 @2.1.5 (lang, ruby)
Powerful and clean object-oriented scripting language
ruby22 @2.2.1 (lang, ruby)
Powerful and clean object-oriented scripting language
