Hello, Following last night’s discussions, I’ve created a ruby-full debian package. It won’t make it to etch before a while, if it ever does, but you can try it out in my personal repository, see [http://vincent.fourmond.neuf.fr/debian.html](http://vincent.fourmond.neuf.fr/debian.html) Any comments would be very welcome, especially from the debian-unhappy. ``` Vince ``` ---

The thing about etch is that it did reach a state of freeze, where entry of new packages is strictly regulated. I’ll see if the package can make it through, though. Thanks for your interest, ``` Vince ``` ---

For technical reasons too long to get into, the ruby standard installation is splitted over many different packages in debian. Though it is necessary, I understand that it is painful, especially for beginners, to select and install all the required packages. Hence a ruby-full package which installs all the small packages that make up to a full ruby installation. Cheers, ``` Vince ``` ---

Are you a DD? If so, please work to get this into sid (and etch) ASAP. If not, please discuss with the ruby maintainers and the Debian release team to try and get it in ASAP. There have been outstanding bugs on this for a while that still haven’t been solved. –Ken ---

Many thanks for doing this. I don’t use Debian, but as a Ruby installation cheerleader I’ll be glad to see the last of the fragmentation problems associated with Debian. Hopefully at some point they can get rid of the split-up packages entirely and just do something close to a full/normal install every time. (Then you can take the “-full” off the name 🙂 David ---

I’m not a DD yet, though that is now really close (have a look at [https://nm.debian.org/nmlist.php#dam](https://nm.debian.org/nmlist.php#dam) ). I’ve asked someone from the ruby team to sponsor the package yesterday when I came back from holidays, but I am quite sceptical about it making it to etch in time. In sid afterwards, sure. Cheers, ``` Vince ```
