Hello Rubyists, I’m happy to announce a project/release that delivers Ruby/Rubygems Solaris packages. Also bundled are DTrace support, extensions, performance fixes for Solaris. We plan to add the Rails ecosystem in our next release. So if you’re in need of a installable packages( or code to create them), please visit: [http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyopensolaris/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyopensolaris/) [http://rubyopensolaris.rubyforge.org/](http://rubyopensolaris.rubyforge.org/) There are, of course, at least a couple of other ways to get your pre-built copy on Solaris, and the RubyOpenSolaris project does not overlap with those. Feel free to add yourself to the below mailing lists to track / influence the contents / delivery of these packages @ removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid for general discussions / feature requests etc., removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid for new release announcements. removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid for development discussions. Best Regards, -ps
