[MacRuby-devel] hotcocoa virus

[Gary Weaver]

Enzo,

What I meant is that there are various versions of HotCocoa on GitHub. 
You might want to try someone's repo that was updated more recently. The 
"official"/original version ( https://github.com/richkilmer/hotcocoa ) 
is probably the one you are using, but you can find a more recent one 
with patches, etc. by looking at its network in GitHub:
https://github.com/richkilmer/hotcocoa/network

for example, some more recent versions at time of writing are:
https://github.com/gmanley/hotcocoa
https://github.com/jamis/hotcocoa
