Description Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev

The ruby-gnome2 eclass currently only handles a single ruby version that is currently hardcoded in the eclass as 'ruby', but the code seems to be compatible with ruby 1.8 for the most part.

The short-term fix is to support only ruby 1.8 in this eclass, by explicitly setting USE_RUBY and the proper ruby interpreter hard-coded.

The long-term fix is to either make use of the multi-version install code in ruby.eclass or to add something similar to ruby-gnome2.eclass.

This problem should be solved with a new eclass: ruby-ng-gnome2. It builds on the ruby-ng eclass to provide support for multiple ruby versions.

The 0.19.3 versions of the ruby-gnome2 packages will make use of this eclass.

We are currently stabling ruby-gnome2-0.19.4. Once that is done the old versions can be removed and the old eclass can be deprecated.

All old version have now been removed, except for ruby-glib2. A new stabilization bug for ppc64 has been filed.
