Overall changes: Use tabs instead of sequential spaces. Note Author as well as WWW in DESCR. Do not install examples when NOPORTDOCS. Make RUBY, RUBY_VER and RUBY_ARCH variables overridable. ruby-date2: share/doc/ruby/date2/examples/ -> share/examples/ruby/date2/cal.rb textproc/ruby-html-parser: databases/ruby-mysql: devel/ruby-optparse: devel/ruby-property: Install modules under lib/ruby/site_ruby/${RUBY_VER}/ instead of lib/ruby/site_ruby/ or lib/ruby/${RUBY_VER}/ textproc/ruby-rdtool: Install documents in .rd format too. Format optparse's rd file. (Since ruby-rdtool depends on optparse, it cannot be done during optparse's build process. So ruby-rdtool should take care of that when it is installed. :)

Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and
|
|
easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to
|
|
process text files and to do system management tasks (as in
|
|
Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
|
|
|
|
Features of Ruby are shown below.
|
|
|
|
+ Simple Syntax
|
|
+ *Normal* Object-Oriented features(ex. class, method calls)
|
|
+ *Advanced* Object-Oriented features(ex. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
|
|
+ Operator Overloading
|
|
+ Exception Handling
|
|
+ Iterators and Closures
|
|
+ Garbage Collection
|
|
+ Dynamic Loading of Object files(on some architecture)
|
|
+ Highly Portable(works on many UNIX machines, and on DOS,
|
|
Windows, Mac, BeOS etc.)
