pathname2 is a library that provides an implementation of the Pathname
class different from the one that ships as part of the Ruby standard
library. It is a subclass of String, though several methods have been
overridden to better fit a path context. In addition, it supports file
URL's as paths, provides additional methods for Windows paths, and
handles UNC paths on Windows properly.
This package will be maintained as part of the Debian Ruby packaging team.
