Hi, I would like to suggest introducing FLAVOR to Ruby ports. AFAIK multiple version of Ruby ports (lang/ruby??) can be installed at the same time. One of these ruby ports will be *default* installed as PREFIX/bin/ruby. In contrast of Ruby lang, rubygem ports cannot be installed for multiple Ruby version at the same time. I would say Ruby and rubygem ports needs FLAVORS like Python ports. In Python ports, the same origin py- ports can be installed for multiple versions such as py27, py35, py36. If the same thing can be done with Ruby ports, FreeBSD Ruby ports will be much improved. I would appreciate if you Ruby folks bounce some ideas off each other. Let me know if someone's already working on FLAVORS on Ruby. Is there something that I can help you with? Thanks, -- meta <meta@FreeBSD.org>
