Hello, as I wrote on debian-devel some time ago, the "big picture" for me is that I want Debian to be rocking as a base system for service-oriented architectures and modern web applications. This requires solid XML and web service capabilities for all major programming languages. In the case of Ruby, I currently have to install several gems in my postinsts (ugh!) such as xml-object, httpclient and soap4r. Others such as builder, eruby and xml-parser are available for ruby1.8 in Debian. If ruby1.9 improves this situation, I'll gladly migrate to it. Is there a page available which outlines the Ruby roadmap for Debian, when to switch to 1.9 as a default, what the next planned additions will be etc.? So in summary, the availability of libraries is more important to me than the version of Ruby, and if I know somebody will take care of that bug I'll be more than happy already.
