Bug 179397 – dev-utils/freeride does not work with fxruby-1.6

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2007-05-22 08:53:56 UTC]

Well, this is basically a reminder for me to work on it.
Freeride doesn't work with fxruby-1.6 && fox-1.6 ftm.

This will be last bug to solve, as freeride was just announced "officially dead"
(http://freeride.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl)

There is patch in freeride's CVS that ports the complaining plugin to FOX-1.4, see if i can do it for 1.6.

Fortunately, freeride seems NOT to be dead at all :-)
Apparently, the freeride wiki was vandalized but the page has now been repaired.
See http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/freeride-devel/2007-June/000594.html

So, it would still be very nice if you could go further making it work with fox/fxruby-1.6 ! :-)

Well, current CVS includes some fixes from upstream, and freeride appearently starts up again. I'm looking into including the relevant fixes...

Any news on this?

[Comment 5 Hans de Graaff 2009-07-13 07:31:00 UTC]

I'm closing this as WONTFIX since dev-util/freeride is now package masked. See bug 251935 for details.
