Package: apt-listbugs Version: 0.1.3 Severity: wishlist I know that this may sound like trolling, but I do seriously believe, that ruby should not be used for any piece inside the Debian system. People may choose to package some software written in ruby, but apt-listbugs is not any piece of random software happened to be packaged for Debian but an import piece of the system.
I've seen at least three different error messages from apt-listbugs over the time. Today it's bug #577192. All the error messages indicate some kind of API incompatibility. As Lukas Nussbaum points out in his blog, ruby has a horrible way of breaking it's API even with minor updates. This does not seem to be a good foundation to build infrastructur tools on. Wouldn't you outcry in pure horror, if somebody introduced another apt tool written in PHP? Please keep this bug open for at least some months to collect thoughts on this subject. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
