Since it became included with 1.8, akira yamada maintains that version, and when 1.8 was packaged I dropped support for 1.7 from my package. I'll rename the 1.6 package appropriately, though, but I'll wait until the Ruby/GTK packages are renamed (unless that's going to take a very long time?) > Currently, ruby upstream doesn't support such version independent module > path /usr/share/ruby in $LOAD_PATH. Should we modify ruby 1.8 or later > to support this? I think so, but I'm open to suggestions about it. It does IMO make packaging modules without C code much simpler. The downside is when a major incompatibility happens (i.e. code that works correctly on more than one version is impossible), but I believe this is a rare enough case to ignore (AFAIK it's never happened). -- Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org>
