38 Are they obsolete, too? Should I just "emerge -C =ruby-2.0.0_p648"?
39 Or is there some kind of "ruby-cleaner" (like "perl-cleaner") to
40 switch all that to ruby 2.1? How to proceed in order to get a
41 consistent 2.1 installation? As a normal user, I'd get stuck at
42 this point without further instructions...
