The lockfile package exports a LockFile class which provides a simple API for
locking files. Unlike the Windows msvcrt.locking function, the fcntl.lockf
and flock functions, and the deprecated posixfile module, the API is
identical across both Unix (including Linux and Mac) and Windows platforms.
The lock mechanism relies on the atomic nature of the link (on Unix) and
mkdir (on Windows) system calls. An implementation based on SQLite is also
provided, more as a demonstration of the possibilities it provides than as
production-quality code.
All ruby .gem files are now hosted on rubygems.org in the same
directory. If the ruby gem CONFIGURE_STYLE is used, make the
default MASTER_SITES that directory.
There are still a few uses of MASTER_SITE_RUBYFORGE in the tree, for
some ports that aren't gems, or where the .gem file isn't hosted on
rubygems.org, or where the hashes don't match. Most of these will be
dealt with in the near future.

In the upgrade from ruby 1.8.6 to 1.8.7, the PLISTs changed
due to differences in how RDoc processes files.
This also has a number of changes to the regress tests to
work with the changes to devel/ruby-rake. It moves most of
the regress tests to use MODRUBY_REGRESS.

The System Tools Backends (s-t-b for short) are a set of cross-platform
modules for Unix systems. The backends provide a common DBus interface
to all platforms to modify or read the system configuration in a system
independent fashion. Historically, access to system configuration has

This is a WIP, hence not hooked to the build.
DO NOT try this at home or you will harm yourself, you have been warned.
