Why don't you create ruby-shim ebuild for 1.6.8 users to keep using |
| 11 |
1.6.8 for a while? I noticed some ruby scripts are broken with ruby |
| 12 |
1.8.0 and don't want to upgrade ruby to 1.8 on several machines. |
| 13 |
Ruby-shim will not be maintained for long periodes, but still |
| 14 |
it is useful for us to get smooth transition. |

I disagree with this option because there will be a certain number of |
| 19 |
people who stick to use 1.6.8 and they will want packages supporting |
| 20 |
1.6.8 as well as 1.8. Of course I am one of those ;-) |
