Always put a version suffix to the ruby name (no matter if ruby is the
default version) to avoid mess in future.
[Notes for i386 users]
If you are a ruby developer and still want to stick with ruby 1.6 as
default, please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf.
If you are a ruby developer and want to keep ruby 1.6 as default,
please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf. Otherwise, please
run the following series of commands to migrate to ruby 1.8:
1) Reinstall portupgrade manually (and ruby 1.8 will be installed)
pkg_delete portupgrade-\*
(cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade; make install clean)
2) Reinstall everything that depends on ruby 1.6 (to use ruby 1.8)
portupgrade -fr lang/ruby16
3) Reinstall ruby 1.8 (because the previous step kills symlinks)
portupgrade -f lang/ruby18
4) Deinstall ruby 1.6 stuff (if you are paranoia)
pkg_deinstall -ri lang/ruby16
with gcc 3.3 with a -mcpu or -march flag (even -mcpu=pentiumpro, which
is the default CPU cflag that bsd.cpu.mk sets, leads ruby to coredump).
Although currently I'm not sure if gcc 3.3's optimization has a bug or
it is that it just exposed the dl module's hidden bug, disable those
flags to work around the problem for the moment.
- Update to the 1.6.8 final release. (which fixes a couple of
coredumping bugs)
- Update Oni Guruma (alternative BSDL regexp engine) to 20021210.
- Attach a small knob for debugging.
lang/ruby-devel
- Update to 1.8.0 preview 1 + errata patch. (fixes a couple of
coredumping bugs)
- Update Oni Guruma (alternative BSDL regexp engine) to 20021210.
- Fix pkg-plist nits.
lang/ruby16-shim-ruby18
- Update to 1.8.0 preview 1. (sync with 1.6.8 & 1.8.0 preview1)
- Fix pkg-plist nits.

A Merry Christmas to: all of you
1.7.3.2002.12.11, and lang/ruby-devel to 1.7.3-2002.12.12.
- Fix a few bugs that lead to core dump, one in the ruby interpreter
and another in the syslog module.
Reported by: ume (net/dtcp was a victim)
- Fix an installation problem occasionally seen on bento. (a bug in
Makefile that caused race)
Submitted by: bento
- Fix a problem that irb(1) didn't work because the symlink was wrong.
Submitted by: Jos Backus <jos@catnook.com>
- Get rid of move & symlink spaghetti completely from the installation
process.
Discussed with: portmgr (will)
Ruby Shim is a set of modules that provide the libraries and the
additional features that will appear in the next version of Ruby.
Shim between 1.6 and 1.8 includes:
features/ruby18 Hooks to support ruby 1.8 extensions
dl Interface to dynamic linker
racc-runtime Racc runtime module
stringio IO interface for String
strscan Fast string scanner
benchmark Benchmark module
fileutils File & directory manipulation
pp Pretty printer (prettier version of `p')
tsort Topological sorter
Accordingly, this port obsoletes and replaces the following ports:
devel/ruby-dl
devel/ruby-fileutils
devel/ruby-fnmatch
devel/ruby-racc-runtime
devel/ruby-strscan
They will be automatically deinstalled during the installation process
of this port.
