#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 raised concerns with this downgrade, but I wasn't aware that Rails doesn't work with it, duh. So maybe we should really downgrade. Additionally we could make 1.8.7 become ruby-devel, a variation that is used elsewhere. I seem to remember we didn't want variants that effect to installing a different version of the same package, but I don't know where exactly. To become more specific, Rails <2.1.2 had this problem using ruby187: http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/867-undefined-method- length-for-enumerable Current rails port is 2.1.0, which is from end of may. So current rails and ruby don't match. :/ Rails officially recommends 1.8.6 therefore as well. There is a strong case for downgrading now, imho. http://www.rubyonrails.org/down -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16861#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
