I appreciate the irritation, but the nature of distributions is that they are always a little behind the times. The changes to 1.8.6 are unlikely to be sufficient to require an update to a stable release like Feisty.
I'm going to mark this 'Fix Released' since it is updated in the Gutsy development. If you want to request a backport go here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports and follow the procedure in 'How to request new packages'. You will need to be prepared to chip in and do the work though. ** Changed in: ruby1.8 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- Feisty has Ruby 1.8.5. 1.8.6 is the latest. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
