Assuming this is a response to yesterday's news about Debian's Ruby maintainer, I don't see how it's relevant. Matz is almost certainly compiling his own Ruby (as many Rubyists do) and not using the Debian packages for Ruby.
- steveklabnik 16y agoIt's true. I mostly just thought that it was interesting that after reading all that hubbub over the last few days, to pop open ruby-talk and see this... At the same time, there is a certain amount of relevance: while lots of Rubyists (including myself) talk a lot of shit on Debian, Debian is still the only Linux that is (technically) supported by Ruby. It's this way because the Hudson (or whatever, it's still early...) server is running Debian, and they don't have another box or two... but still, I guess my point is that Debian is important, no matter how frustrating their policies may seem at times.
