I've been using older versions of Rubyripper (as you can tell!) and overall, it's the best ripper for Linux IMHO. However it does NOT "repair" damaged CDs. It purports to by re-ripping until it gets two consecutive reads the same - but this isn't repair, it just means it's getting the same errors. So you can get audible defects in repaired tracks.
The good news is it clearly logs the positions of the repairs so you can listen for yourself. This is the most critical thing in my opinion and it's what missing from other Linux rippers. If I get an error, I want to know about it! Once the error is identified, you can usually make it go away by performing a scratch repair on the disc.
