The Ruby project summary: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
We've had two new project members recently: a3li and gengor. In addition |
| 8 |
we also have a number of new people who help out on occasion with our |
| 9 |
overlay. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
More ruby versions are now available: |
| 12 |
- Ruby 1.9.x is in the tree. It's masked for now pending more testing |
| 13 |
and pending getting the tree more ready for it. |
| 14 |
- Ruby Enterprise Edition is available in our overlay. |
| 15 |
- We also have the latest ruby 1.8.6 and 1.8.7 versions in our tree. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
We are in the process of cleaning up the eclasses and getting them ready |
| 18 |
to support multiple ruby versions as well. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
We have a Summer of Code project which will deliver a tool to treat Ruby |
| 21 |
Gems as first-class citizens in Gentoo, including such things as |
| 22 |
patching and testing. We hope that this will improve the quality and |
| 23 |
quantity of ruby code that we can offer. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Future plans: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
- Complete ruby 1.9.x migration and unmask it. |
| 28 |
- Get Ruby Enterprise Edition ready to move to the main tree |
| 29 |
- Add Summer of Code tool to the tree and convert majority of current |
| 30 |
ebuilds to use it. |
| 31 |
- Recruit more people: while we are not in bad shape right now we could |
| 32 |
certainly use one or two more people to keep things moving along. |
| 33 |
- Get our open bug count down. |
| 34 |
|

Kind regards, |
