Description:
    The core components required for most Ruby-based applications have
    been added to rPath Linux.  The ruby, rails, and rake packages are
    available for use on rPath Linux and in appliances based on rPath
    Linux, though they are not included in the standard installation
    media for rPath Linux.
    
    Best practices for packaging Ruby-related applications, especially
    packaging RubyGems, are not generally agreed on within the larger
    Linux packaging community.  Because of this, future bug fixes and
    other updates to ruby, rails, and rake may require more significant
    changes in packaging than are normal for a maintained component
    of rPath Linux 1.  In addition, bug fix and security updates to
    these Ruby-related components are likely to be provided by updating
    to new upstream versions.
    
    Use Conary 1.2.2 or later to build packages with Ruby components.
    
    9 November 2007 Update: rails has been repackaged, and several rails
    dependencies have been added to rPath Linux 1.
