Prashant's Perceptions

What's cool in Opensolaris build 78?

I can think of one thing

We putback Ruby into OpenSolaris build 78! Ruby 1.8.6 patchlevel 110, Rubygems 0.9.4, and Openssl, Curses, Readline, and Tcl/Tk extensions are enabled.

The directory layout for Ruby is per the ARC case. Ruby is in /usr/ruby/, it's linked from /usr/bin so as to be easy to locate - the man page is also appropriately linked.

Same for Rubygems, it's available though a link in /usr/bin - and the default gem repository happens to be /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home (ie., $GEM_HOME).

In the mean time, the wish list has is getting bigger n bigger . . .

Your putback for the following fix(es) is complete:

    6622810 Bring Ruby, Rubygems, and Extensions into OpenSolaris.
    

These fixes will be in release:

        snv_78

The gatekeeper will mark these bugids "fixed" and "integrated" in bugtraq
as soon as the gate has been delivered to the WOS.  However, you can mark
them "fixed" (but not "integrated") now if you wish.

        Your Friendly Gatekeepers
