Using alternatives to switch between Ruby implementations ========================================================= The alternatives system is now used to manage the "ruby" symlink and the other related symlinks, making it easy to switch between Ruby implementations (only Ruby 1.8 and 1.9.X at the moment). The default choice for Ruby is still 1.8, but this change will make it easy for us to make a switch to 1.9.X by default (likely by the release of Debian wheezy).
How is this being managed, I only review debian-ruby a few times a month to see major changes and I hadn't noticed this.
