Now, this package isn't meta-package.
Ruby itself is provided as language/ruby18 (Ruby 1.8.1) or
language/ruby16 (Ruby 1.6.8) and Ruby's commands are
$PREFIX/bin/ruby18 or $PREFIX/bin/ruby16.
This pacakge provide commands without its version in name
as $PREFIX/bin/ruby.
Some extention libraries bundled in Ruby's distribution are
move to separate packages. For ruby18:
converters/ruby-iconv: Iconv module
databases/ruby-dbm: DBM module
databases/ruby-gdbm: GDBM module
devel/ruby-curses: Curses module
security/ruby-digest: message digest module
security/ruby-openssl: OpenSSL module
devel/ruby-readline: readline module
x11/ruby-tcltklib: Tcl/Tk libraries
x11/ruby-tk: Tk modules
And for ruby16:
databases/ruby-dbm: DBM module
databases/ruby-gdbm: GDBM module
devel/ruby16-curses: Curses module
security/ruby-digest: message digest module
devel/ruby-readline: readline module
x11/ruby16-tcltklib: Tcl/Tk libraries
x11/ruby16-tk: Tk modules
You can specify default Ruby's version by setting
RUBY_VERSION_DEFAULT to 1.6 or 1.8 in /etc/mk.conf.
${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM} moved ${RUBY_SITEARCHLIBDIR} on some ports,
and also bump the dependency and PKGREVISION in ruby-gtk, which is
the only package that seems to use that.
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
