I've been trying to port Snorby to FreeBSD. Emphasis on trying. I run into problems at every turn, and some seem unresolvable. Snorby requires ruby 1.9.2 or better. The default version on FreeBSD is 1.8. Putting RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.9 in /etc/make.conf breaks some of the rubygem ports that will only build on 1.8. sysutils/rubygem-bundler was giving me fits. I discovered that while the port version is 1.1.5, the current version, which fixes the problems I was having, is 1.2.2. I created a port update for that and was going to submit it, but then I discovered devel/rubygem-eventmachine "blows up" with a core dump if built with 1.9. This is beyond discouraging and has caused me to abandon the project entirely. It seems that we need a massive effort to update ruby and rails and all gems to the latest versions. Who is responsible for that? How can we get that done? -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* "It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead."
