Hi all, |
| 2 |
I'm in the process of doing a world update and due to a failed compile, |
| 3 |
I have cause to look up through the list of stuff to compile/update. |
| 4 |
Imagine my surprise when I saw there were three versions of Ruby wanting |
| 5 |
to update: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
[ebuild U ] dev-lang/ruby-2.4.1-r4 [2.4.1-r3] |
| 8 |
[ebuild U ] dev-lang/ruby-2.3.4-r4 [2.3.4-r3] |
| 9 |
[ebuild U ] dev-lang/ruby-2.2.7-r4 [2.2.7-r3] |
| 10 |
|

Have I managed to stuff up something on my machine or is this really the |
| 12 |
case, there has to be three versions? And to make matters worse, they |
| 13 |
are not big version jumps, + 0.1 -> 2.2, 2.3 & 2.4. |
| 14 |
|

I would prefer to get rid of Ruby, but, if memory serves me correctly, |
| 16 |
someone associated with the kernel decided it would be a good idea to |
| 17 |
use yet another language for something, obviously Python wasn't good |
| 18 |
enough.... |

Thoughts on the magically multiplying Rubies would be greatly appreciated, |
