Hello Akira and Daigo, Some time ago we discussed adding a tool called update-ruby-alternatives, which would be a helper to "fully switch" between Ruby interpreters as the default one. This is needed because `ruby` and `gem` are not maintained together in the same alternatives entry because rubygems is a separate package for ruby1.8, so what this tool should do is to change both at the same time. Please have a look at the discussion we had: http://lists.debian.org/debian-ruby/2011/07/msg00053.html I wrote update-ruby-alternatives, and the solution I came up with was to add it to a new package called ruby-common, which the actualy interpreter packages (ruby1.8, ruby1.9.1 etc) should depend on. The code for this is ready in the `update-ruby-alternatives` branch on the ruby-defaults git repository, would you have a look at it and tell us what you think? Do you guys agree with that implementation? -- Antonio Terceiro <terceiro@debian.org>
