Hi all,
I'm in the process of doing a world update and due to a failed compile,
I have cause to look up through the list of stuff to compile/update.
Imagine my surprise when I saw there were three versions of Ruby wanting
to update:
[ebuild U ] dev-lang/ruby-2.4.1-r4 [2.4.1-r3]
[ebuild U ] dev-lang/ruby-2.3.4-r4 [2.3.4-r3]
[ebuild U ] dev-lang/ruby-2.2.7-r4 [2.2.7-r3]
Have I managed to stuff up something on my machine or is this really the
case, there has to be three versions? And to make matters worse, they
are not big version jumps, + 0.1 -> 2.2, 2.3 & 2.4.
I would prefer to get rid of Ruby, but, if memory serves me correctly,
someone associated with the kernel decided it would be a good idea to
use yet another language for something, obviously Python wasn't good
enough....
Thoughts on the magically multiplying Rubies would be greatly
appreciated,
Andrew
