#16861: [ruby] Please revert lang/ruby to 1.8.6p287 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: roberto@freebsd.org | Owner: kimuraw@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: High | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: ruby Port: ruby | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment(by febeling@macports.org): I'm not entirely convinced that we should revert, but I don't feel sure either. The whole stable/unstable release issue with ruby is quite opaque to me. I was always wondering if you get better insights if you speak Japanese and can read the original list, but we have somebody who can :) Now the question is how to resolve the problem with port sporting deps like port:ruby. Using a variant or using some sort of proxy port file which only consists out of 2 mutually exclusive variants. Maybe plain variants are just easier, but I read once on the list that it is not acceptable to install differnt version depending on variant. Can't fully recall the reasoning, unfortunately. I once submitted a portgroup for proxy port file, will port the link in a bit. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16861#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
