Hardcoded version number breaks new ruby versions. 2004-03-31 11:04:54 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Ebuilds unspecified All All RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 evanm@frap.net ruby@gentoo.org evanm@frap.net 2004-03-30 06:02:47 0000 The ebuild writer hardcoded ruby version 1.6 in here, so when you update ruby to 1.8 it breaks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ruby version 1.8 2. emerge ruby-dbi 3. ruby -wle'require "dbi"' Actual Results: -e:1:in `require': No such file to load -- dbi (LoadError) from -e:1 Expected Results: load dbi Below is a patch for the ebuild. It works for me, but I dont' really know how the ebuilds should be laid out.
