Ruby MRI 1.8 has been retired by upstream in June 2013.[1]
|
|
We remove Ruby MRI 1.8 support from the tree now. In parallel Ruby MRI 2.0
|
|
support will be activated in base profile's RUBY_TARGETS variable by default
|
|
in conjunction with Ruby MRI 1.9.
|
|
|
|
If your currently eselected Ruby interpreter is ruby18, our recommendation is
|
|
to change it to ruby19. At the moment Ruby MRI 1.9 delivers the best possible
|
|
support of all Ruby interpreters in tree.
|
|
|
|
Check the current setting via:
|
|
|
|
eselect ruby show
|
|
|
|
Change the current setting to Ruby MRI 1.9 via:
|
|
|
|
eselect ruby set ruby19
