1. Do users need to know about MRI? I had to search the Web to figure |
| 31 |
out that it's referring to Matz's Ruby Interpreter (or CRuby), which is |
| 32 |
the reference implementation. This information (if important) may be |
| 33 |
useful to include, like "Ruby MRI (Matz's Ruby Interpreter) 2.1 ...". |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
2. Grammar and tone seems a little off. Here's my attempt at a rewrite, |
| 36 |
if you don't mind: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
~~~ |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Ruby MRI (Matz's Ruby Interpreter) 2.0 was retired by upstream in |
| 41 |
February 2016. [1] Following this, Ruby MRI 2.0 support will be removed |
| 42 |
from Gentoo in favor of Ruby MRI 2.1. We recommend updating to the |
| 43 |
'ruby21' target as soon as possible. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
[insert eselect guide here] |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
~~~ |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I wrote my edit trying to stay close to the original writing style. I |
| 50 |
hope it's satisfactory. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
The eselect part reads well. We could remove the "MRI" part, but as a |
| 53 |
non-Rubyist I don't feel qualified to determine whether it's important |
| 54 |
or not. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
I felt that the base profile variable mention and the bit about MRI |
| 57 |
being the best interpreter were better left out, but it also doesn't |
| 58 |
actively hurt it. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Someone more experienced in news-writing should clarify that. Overall I |
| 61 |
thought it was a good initial draft. |
