Sounds good to me. I have been using ruby-1.8.0 on one of my (gentoo) |
31 |
sparc systems since late August with no problems. My ruby use isn't |
32 |
all that heavy, but it's enough > 0 that I was getting ready to send off |
33 |
a query addressing this very subject, but you have preempted me. |

As to 1.6.8 -vs- 1.8.x --- for me, at least, for some applications I am |
36 |
forced into 1.8.0 because of the improved garbage collector performance. |
37 |
(Along those lines, I'd like an easy way to set |
38 |
'-DGC_MALLOC_LIMIT=32000000' or some such in the CFLAGS for the build, |
39 |
rather than having to do it by hand, but that's another story....) |
