Ruby 1.8 will be included in Wheezy, and will be available during the Wheezy lifecycle. It will just not be the default. Packages that are not ported to Ruby 1.9 can just stay using ruby1.8, they just have to depend explicitly on ruby1.8 and use /usr/bin/ruby1.8 for shebangs and the like. If people have non-packaged code that needs Ruby 1.8, they can just make it the system default using alternatives. Wheezy+1 should be release late 2014, so by then it will not be reasonable to keep supporting Ruby 1.8, so we will probably drop Ruby 1.8 for Wheezy+1. -- Antonio Terceiro <terceiro@debian.org>
