Yes, it's something that I've been looking at. Exp-run build tests have been done several times and I've been using 2.0 as default for packages I build for myself for a while, so it's really all ready to go. There is one issue, which is the version of devel/ruby-gems. I've been told by ruby gems developers that using gem 1.8.x with ruby 2.0 isn't really supported or "sane", though I forget the details at this point. So I wanted to get that updated before switching the default. Maybe we should just do it without that, since I don't know of any specific issues or have details on potential issues. Thoughts? Steve
