I think it is better to enable to select 1.8.7 or 1.8.6 than revert to 1.8.6. I'll try to support 1.8.6 with macports. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16861#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

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

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
