The code is ported, but starting at 1.9 Ruby needs an existing Ruby interpreter to build. Ruby 1.8 needs only gcc-4.6 ... which needs patchutils. So we got ourselves a loop there. I have just committed a change to ruby that AFAICT will actually allow it to be built against ruby1.8 ( http://deb.li/nZlv ), any ideas on how to break the loop? -- Antonio Terceiro <terceiro@debian.org>
