Is Ruby being maintained by anyone?

Is Ruby being maintained by anyone?

[Jim Morris]

The current version of ruby in OE appears to be 1.8.5 which is pretty old, and it does not have the 
socket or thread libraries installed which are pretty much standard and are required by various 
useful libraries like dbus.

Is anyone maintaining or working on updating this package?

If not I'm willing to have a crack at getting the stable release of ruby (1.8.6P111) working and 
also work on the socket and thread libs.

Anyone who may have started this and abandoned the project, if you have any patches lying around it 
would help.

Thanks
Jim

Thank you for your offer.  I am not aware of any official ruby
maintainer (you could check "mtn log" and MAINTAINERS if you want to be
really sure).  I'd say, just have a go at it and let us have your
patches via the bug tracker.  If there is not timely response, ping us
in #oe.

Regards

Rolf
