Hi,
I would like to suggest introducing FLAVOR to Ruby ports.
AFAIK multiple version of Ruby ports (lang/ruby??) can be installed at
the same time. One of these ruby ports will be *default* installed as
PREFIX/bin/ruby. In contrast of Ruby lang, rubygem ports cannot be
installed for multiple Ruby version at the same time.
I would say Ruby and rubygem ports needs FLAVORS like Python ports.
In Python ports, the same origin py- ports can be installed for multiple
versions such as py27, py35, py36. If the same thing can be done with
Ruby ports, FreeBSD Ruby ports will be much improved.
I would appreciate if you Ruby folks bounce some ideas off each other.
Let me know if someone's already working on FLAVORS on Ruby. Is there
something that I can help you with?
Please no. I don't see valid reasons.
Why? I don't see invalid reasons. Had Ruby FLAVORS already denied in the
past? What's the difference between Rython and Ruby? py- ports can be
installed for py35 and py36 at the same time. Why not for Ruby?
I'm just brainstorming Ruby FLAVORS. Both positive opinions and negative
opinions are welcome.
We provide multiple versions of Ruby, it would make sense to provide
gems for each version. In fact, I worked on this but never finished it:
