Hi,

== Platforms  
Ruby 1.9 no longer supports the following platforms because they have no  
active maintainer.

- BeOS
- WinCE
- OS/2
- Interix
- bcc32
- Classic MacOS
- djgpp
- VMS
- human68k

I will remove platform-specific codes for them from Ruby, unless someone  
become a maintainer by 25 Sep.

Regards,

(For some reasons I can’t :-((

you should subscribe to and write ruby-core@ just to make sure they  
get this.

Well, Ruby is definitely not dead on BeOS (nor is BeOS itself…!)  
I have v1.8.4 fully functional on my BeOS system, and use it  
extensively.  
(Also available on BeBits – the software distribution site for the OS.)

I never pursued any later version, because 1.8.4 matches the Pickaxe  
book,  
and that was my main desire – to have corresponding software and docs.

However, it would be a shame to have BeOS support disappear from the  
next version, so I guess I should volunteer myself as a maintainer!  
(The BeOS hooks in 1.8.4 BTW were not quite sufficient. I had to  
further  
modify a few of the sources – unfortunately long enough ago that I  
don’t  
remember all the twists and turns. I will proceed to dig back…)

[For those unfamiliar with BeOS – or its current status – I should  
note  
that it is currently being redeveloped (and renamed) as the open-source  
OS  
‘Haiku’.]

Is there a lot of work required for maintaining? I would hate to see the  
bcc32 version go away at a time when it looks like Borland/ CodeGear  
seems to finally be getting it together. I’m sorry I’ve never maintained  
anything this big, but would be interested to know a bit more if it’s  
possible.

Thanks  
Mohit.
