I've been trying to port Snorby to FreeBSD. Emphasis on trying. I run
into problems at every turn, and some seem unresolvable. Snorby requires
ruby 1.9.2 or better. The default version on FreeBSD is 1.8. Putting
RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.9 in /etc/make.conf breaks some of the rubygem ports
that will only build on 1.8.
sysutils/rubygem-bundler was giving me fits. I discovered that while the
port version is 1.1.5, the current version, which fixes the problems I was
having, is 1.2.2. I created a port update for that and was going to submit
it, but then I discovered devel/rubygem-eventmachine "blows up" with a core
dump if built with 1.9.
This is beyond discouraging and has caused me to abandon the project
entirely.
It seems that we need a massive effort to update ruby and rails and all
gems to the latest versions. Who is responsible for that? How can we get
that done?
