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. -- M.
