So, um, I just tried to update a bunch of my ports to the latest
revs, which I do rather infrequently, and of course, as usual,
I got a boat load of port build failures. (Sigh.)
Well, anyway, one of them was this:
- lang/ruby18 (marked as IGNORE)
I don't use Ruby myself, so obviously, some other port(s) I have
installed are using it. I've gone ahead and built & installed
lang/ruby20 and that went fine. Now I'd just like to know what,
if anything, I should do, specifically, in order to make every
installed port that I have that was dependent upon ruby18 now
instead dependent upon ruby20. And actually, since we are on
the subject, is doing that exact thing even wise? I have no idea,
but wish I knew. Is it possible that some port or another that I
have installed that was dependent upon ruby18 might now malfunction
if forced to use ruby20 instead? (That notion certainly does not
seem to be entirely out of the question.)
