I unmasked ruby-1.6.8-r2 and ruby-1.8.0-r1. If you have installed |
| 10 |
<=ruby-1.6.8-r1 or =ruby-1.8.0, please unmerge them first and upgrade |
| 11 |
to ruby-1.6.8-r2 and/or ruby-1.8.0-r1. |

Ruby 1.8.1 will be available in the near future (I just committed |
| 26 |
ruby-1.8.1_pre2.ebuild) and I think it is the time to switch to |
| 27 |
1.8. If users want ruby-1.6.8 along with 1.8.x they will be able to |
| 28 |
use both 1.6.8 and 1.8.x (since they have different SLOT now). We will |
| 29 |
concentrate on supporting packages for 1.8 from now on but keep 1.6.8 |
| 30 |
packages as well in case some packages may still be broken. |
