Ruby 1.9.1 and Diakonos
Tonight, I've gone ahead and done some work on dev-lang/ruby, and I've gotten ruby 1.9.1 into funtoo unstable. Along with the new ruby comes an updated eselect-ruby, and a transition from the "/usr/bin/ruby18" suffix to the "/usr/bin/ruby1.9" suffix (notice the dot.) It seems the dot is popular these days. And I also figured that python uses the dot, so why not ruby too? Seems worthwhile to be consistent.
I've also added the diakonos editor - written in ruby and dependent on ruby-1.9 - into the funtoo unstable tree. I also think it's worth mentioning that diakonos was first submitted to bugs.gentoo.org by Pistos, its author, on October 22, 2005. Three years, nine months and one day later, it's in funtoo. Better late than never.

Thank you for this update. But: Funtoo does not seem to like Ruby: http://trac.ywesee.com/ticket/12#comment:2
Any Feedback on this?
This isn't a problem with ruby, it's a problem with the Manifest in the user's portage tree. An emerge --sync should fix it. I will comment on this bug.
Oops, can't seem to comment on the bug. Please pass the word along that emerge --sync should fix it. For any other issues related to Funtoo Linux, post to the funtoo-dev mailing list (see funtoo.org for link). That's a better way to get support than posting direct to my blog.
Ok, will do so. Thank you for your help!
Hmm, I am still posting this again here, as you are the Top leader of Funtoo:
I tried another emerge --sync, but with no success. There were a number of files that needed to be manually copied (from my local gentoo), all in dev-lang/ruby/files/
The machine where that Funtoo was installed was in the early days of Funtoo, about 3-4 month back. I tried on my local Funtoo machine as well and there Ruby 1.9.1 installed flawlessly. My local machine has a newer Funtoo-Install.
Again, it would be best if you posted to the funtoo-dev mailing list.
It sounds like your git tree is messed up on one of the machines. On this machine, you can try doing:
cd /usr/portage
rm -rf * .gitignore
git reset --hard
emerge --sync
Then see if your files are back in order.
And if you have any more problems, PLEASE post to the funtoo-dev mailing list instead of here.
Thanks again! I posted in the Funtoo-Mailing list. But somehow my post does not want to show up. I do not quite understand why. Did you get any Mail as Admin of the Funtoo-Mailing-List? I will paste your reply there.
