Hi guys,

MacPorts contains packages of many versions of Ruby, similarly to the Python and Perl \
groups, but the corresponding "ruby_select" port does not automatically create the \
links needed to access commands "ruby", "gem" etc. I was able to get around this by \
using "sudo port select" manually, but would it be possible for someone to fix \
"ruby_select" so that the ports "ruby$n" work properly "out of the box".

Also, the port actually called "ruby" is very old (version 1.8.7) and "port notes \
ruby" deprecates it. Should it be removed from MacPorts? Or reincarnated as "ruby18", \
dropping "ruby186" as well?

Cheers,
Ian Wadham.
