I've added dev-lang/ruby-1.8.5_p2-r1 to the tree today and I would like to request it to be stabilized as soon as possible. The ebuild is completely identical to ruby-1.8.5_p2 which has been stable for some time already. The reason for the bump is to address bug 159922. Since coreutils-6.7-r1 the location of install has changed from /bin to /usr/bin. The recommended fix is to recompile ruby, but despite some advertisement of this fix a steady flow of duplicates for bug 15992 is still coming in. Now that coreutils-6.7-r1 has been stable for some time, this bump will cause ruby users to recompile their current version and thus fixing the issue for them.
ia64 + x86 stable
Sparc stable (and this does indeed fix Bug 159922). Thanks.
