Sure, I guess without greping the source tree or looking at the list of packages (if there is a list) that ruby is not present as why would it be when it takes up space and isn't really a scripting language used by various common packages.
If the GPS/accellerometer data is obtainable from a /proc file you don't need ruby extensions, you can just open it directly. There's probally no advantage to an extension unless you wanted to do something above the level of just acquiring data. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ramsesoriginal Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2008 3:17 PM To: List for Openmoko community discussion Subject: Re: Programming in Ruby [WAS: Re: Freerunner games / usingmotionsensors in C] Yes, but since we don't have to reinvent the wheel, iasked if someone alread made it. Also i never wrote ruby for gps/accelerometer, soarethere somecommon practices/mixins?
