I see that there is a 1.9 suite now, it might be interesting to run MacRuby against it. I'm not sure if it's complete, though.

I would indeed be willing to set up some local machines here and submit the rubyspec results to the rubyspecresults web app. It won't be possible to make the machines accessible from the outside, but it looks like it's not a requirement.
No, given that tests can presumably be added to the suite via github.
Also, MacRuby's PPC support is very preliminary and I think it will be deprecated soon, principally because of lack of interest and resources to maintain it. I am currently focusing on both 32-bit and 64-bit Intel.
<rant> My desktop machine is a perfectly lovely Power Mac G5, which does a fine job of everything I ask of it. I don't mind paying Apple $100 a year for their OS, nor in paying the premium needed for Apple to create pretty and reliable hardware. However, it gripes the !@#$%^ out of me when Apple deprecates hardware prematurely. The fact that Apple offers nothing cheaper than a Mac Pro with any card slots (eg, for adding more monitors) adds insult to injury. </rant> Would it be that hard for you to scrounge a PPC mac and have it run the same tests? Even if you don't have the time to resolve issues, having a central resource for current test information might help to encourage others to make fixes, etc. -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume rdm@cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Technical editing and writing, programming, and web development
