But, about Ruby 2.0, Wikipedia says: "" Ruby 2.0 is intended to be fully backward compatible with Ruby 1.9.3. As of the official 2.0.0 release on February 24, 2013, there were only five known (minor) incompatibilities. "" And then, about Ruby 2.1, they say: "" Ruby 2.1.0 was released on Christmas Day in 2013.[31] The release includes speed-ups, bugfixes, and library updates. Starting with 2.1.0, Ruby is using semantic versioning. "" So I believe we can simply bump the ruby package to 2.1, and not bother keeping two separate packages.
