Re: Bug#573272: transition: ruby1.9 -> ruby1.9.1

[Lucas Nussbaum <lucas@lucas-nussbaum.net>]

Hi,

I initially planned to track the ruby1.9 -> ruby1.9.1 transition. But I
give up. I think that ruby1.9 should be removed from testing now,
together with the following list of packages (which are all the reverse
build-deps or depends of ruby1.9):

Debian Ruby Extras Maintainers <pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
   libgruff-ruby (U)
   libi18n-ruby (U)
   libnet-scp-ruby (U)
   libnet-sftp2-ruby (U)
   libnet-ssh-gateway-ruby (U)
   libnet-ssh2-ruby (U)
   libnokogiri-ruby (U)
   libprawn-ruby (U)
   libwww-mechanize-ruby (U)

Sebastien Delafond <seb@debian.org>
   libdifflcs-ruby

Christopher Lunsford <binarymutant@gmail.com>
   libnet-scp-ruby
   libnet-sftp2-ruby
   libnet-ssh-gateway-ruby
   libnet-ssh2-ruby

Bryan McLellan <btm@loftninjas.org>
   erubis
   libabstract-ruby
   libstomp-ruby

Ryan Niebur <ryanryan52@gmail.com>
   libprawn-ruby (U)
   libwww-mechanize-ruby

Ryan Niebur <ryan@debian.org>
   libnokogiri-ruby

Athena Capital Research <acr-debian@athenacr.com>
   libi18n-ruby

Roberto C. Sanchez <roberto@connexer.com>
   libi18n-ruby (U)

TANIGUCHI Takaki <takaki@debian.org>
   libmecab-ruby

Paul van Tilburg <paulvt@debian.org>
   libgruff-ruby (U)

Gunnar Wolf <gwolf@debian.org>
   libgruff-ruby
   libnet-scp-ruby (U)
   libprawn-ruby
   libwww-mechanize-ruby (U)

NIIBE Yutaka <gniibe@fsij.org>
   htree

It is clear that we are not able to maintain so many ruby libs with the
current packaging system, but it is too late to fix that for squeeze,
and the fact that maintainers do not test their changes properly doesn't
help.
