[BOO!] Ruby 1.8.4 testers wanted

[Pav Lucistnik]

Hi people,

Alexander Wittig provided us with patches to upgrade our Ruby to 1.8.4.

Because previous attempt to upgrade to 1.8.3 ended in flames, I want
you, people who run ruby apps, to test the patches before I commit them.
Find the patches at

http://people.freebsd.org/~pav/ruby/

Please test them as much as possible.

If I don't hear any screaming, they'll hit the tree during weekend.

In 1.8.4, there is a different behaviour of site-install target from
mkmf generated Makefiles. Most obvious change is that .h files are no
longer installed in modules. I hacked mkmf.rb to include install; target
in site-install: target as it was in 1.8.2. Any Ruby wizard to tell me
how to fix this properly?

I'm interested in which ports broke with 1.8.3 back last fall, so I
could check them out before committing? Anyone still remember? Kris?

Once this is done, I'd like to start phasing out ruby16. Anyone
disagree?
