I absolutely do not want to see anything related to ruby on my systems. And the people I know who are ruby fanboys always tell to *uninstall* the packaged ruby anyway and install it via this ugly curl|sudo bash thingy *shudder* because apparently the packaged version troubles their ugly method. So both the ruby haters and the ruby fanboys will not like this. I’d not mind having a source package (like moreutils) generate multiple binary packages, one of which would contain the ruby… stuff. As long as it doesn’t get needed… In fact… there’s “micro” stuff written all the time; I’ve been approached about packaging scripts, several times, and rejected because waldi (my original sponsor) explained about the expensiveness of packages, especially binary packages. If we could make some sort of effort to collect them… (maybe as native package in collab-maint?) bye, //mirabilos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
