X-BeenThere: openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.10 Precedence: list Reply-To: openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org List-Id: Using the OpenEmbedded metadata to build Distributions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:01:56 -0000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 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 -- Jim Morris, http://blog.wolfman.com
