Hi there,
I'm still struggling with ruby-1.9.1, and there's a couple of showstoppers and hurdles I wanted to talk about.
First of all, let's forget about the targetted Fedora 13 milestone; it's just not going to happen.
Second; ruby-shadow doesn't compile with ruby-1.9.1
Third; The multiple ruby parallel stacks thing is throwing up a bunch of problems beyond what I'm capable of solving myself. I would like to propose that either we remove the desired feature of being able to have parallel stacks in the first place, or start working on it together (keyword: together!). If nothing else, we can always set up the ruby stack to allow us to add back other versions of ruby should we need to (and once we're able to).
What do you think?

Given the state of affairs, verysensible.

I'll try and have a look if/when I get my rawhide VM working again.

As I said in the other thread, I am not sure it's a worthwhile goal. At the very least, we'd need to understand better how many issues we'd have with a single stack (and eventually, all packages need to be ported to 1.9, so by filing bugs about 1.9 incompatibility, we'd be doing upstream a favor)
To ease collaboration on all this, I added a page[1] to the Wiki to track tasks etc. It would be a great help if people added to this page with what they see needs to be done and what they have done ;)
