31 + <p>
32 + We <uri
33 + link="http://moving-innovations.com/~graaff/outdated-gems">automatically
34 + track</uri> updates to gems-based ruby packages,
35 + so please don't file bugs for these at all. (Note
36 + that the list in question is generated on-demand
37 + manually, so it may appear to be out of date.)
38 + </p>
39 + <p>
40 + If a gems-based package has not been updated to
41 + the latest version for some time then this usually
42 + means there are issues with it. In that case the
43 + best way to help us is to report a bug that
44 + includes a fully tested version of an ebuild. The
45 + ebuild should work correctly with FEATURES=test
46 + and USE=doc on all the ruby implementations that
47 + the ebuild supports.

54 + <body>
55 + <p>
56 + For other ruby packages we don't have a
57 + centralized mechanism to track new versions, but
58 + we still track a fair amount of them by other
59 + means. If you find such a package that has not
60 + been updated for a month then please feel free to
61 + file a bug for it since we may not be actively
62 + monitoring it. Please double-check that it is not
63 + (also) distributed as a gem to avoid unnecessary
64 + bugs.
