Hi group,

I am trying to install the latest version of Ruby using rvm.
After

   rvm install ruby-head

I get

  $ rvm use ruby-head
  $ ruby -v
  ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-09-28 trunk 37049)

Whereas the current revision is 37100 (official svn repository).

Does rvm for some reason have a "lag" or does it use its
own repository instead of the official one?

rvm has a google group you might ask.

Sorry, I did want to post an update, but forgot:

RVM uses by default the GitHub Ruby repository, which at the moment
is not synchronized with the official MRI svn repository (since
about 14 days), see <https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7085>.

But you can configure RVM to use the official repo:

Setting

   ruby_repo_url=http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk

in $rvm_path/user/db worked fine for me.
