Yes ... upstream moved to SVN right around the first of the year. If you 
want, I'll file something in bugzilla to get the details for Ruby 1.9 
into Portage as an enhancement. Most of my Rubyist friends go right to 
the source repositories anyhow, so I'm not sure it even needs to be in 
Portage at this point. 1.9 is scheduled for release around Christmas 2007.

"jRuby" should be closely tracked, however -- they will be at 1.0 in a 
few weeks, I think.
