Over the last couple of days it seems more and more people are stepping up to get Ruby 1.9.1 in Fedora, along with the packaging changes and all that. From a new list just two months ago, we now have 17 members working on the same problems collaboratively.

Worth noting is that I'm receiving patches from people that understand Ruby way better then I do, so it's one big happy learning experience for me too ;-) (Noted I do not use Ruby myself, nor do I program using Ruby)

Thanks to Ben Shakal, we're now over the issue I posted about earlier on the Ruby SIG mailing list, where gem install would work, but executing or requiring the gem wouldn't. Great work Ben, thanks!

From here on out, I'm going to extend the Ruby repositories for Fedora 12 and Fedora Rawhide to include some of the ruby gems with the new packaging guidelines. I'm still going to need new packaging guidelines to go along with the new packages so I'm probably going to build those packaging guidelines as I go along.

More news on Ruby later this year, hope to have some working stack early next year.

Hope you all have a merry Christmas!
