Bug 14164 – Naming and description issues with dev-ruby/mod-ruby

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jim Marshall 2003-01-18 22:39:54 UTC]

To be consistent with mod_perl, mod_php (and any other Apache mod_, really), 
the dev-ruby/mod-ruby ebuilds should probably be called mod_ruby (with an 
underscore). That's also what the creators of the module call it (see 
http://www.modruby.net). Secondly, the description for mod-ruby-1.0.1.ebuild 
currently says "An Apache2 DSO providing an embedded Tcl interpreter". That 
should obviously be "ruby" instead of "tcl".

Minor points, I know, especially since both of these ebuilds are currently 
masked. I thought I'd make mention here in case you guys weren't aware.

nit-picker huh?  ok, fair enough.  will address in near future.

Underscores are not allowed in package names according to Gentoo policy:

Yes, mod_perl, mod_php, etc. do conflict with policy and it is they that need to be changed.

now that's it's been muddled, forget it.
