Good idea JP! I'm working on a updated rubycocoa portfile right now too, so things should get really easy for devs once both portfiles are updated :P Unfortunately I have one problem right now, which is that apparently the ruby portfile doesn't build as a universal variant. Which I think is rather important. I have send a email about this to the macports devel list, so maybe somebody's already working on it. If it isn't being worked on yet I was wondering if Laurent, or any other packaging ninjas that have experience with building ruby as a universal binary, could help out to get this fixed. So that starting with the next release of rubycocoa people can install everything, simply by doing something like: $ port install ruby +universal +rubycocoa_threads $ port install rb-rubycocoa +universal +doc Cheers, Eloy On 7/7/07, Laurent Sansonetti <lsans****@apple*****> wrote: > Hi JP, > > On Jul 6, 2007, at 5:34 PM, jeanp****@gmail***** wrote: > > > On 6/26/07, Laurent Sansonetti <lsans****@apple*****> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > On Jun 25, 2007, at 11:32 PM, Naoki Hiroshima wrote: > > > > >> But Jonathan Paisley made patches to work around this issue, and I > > >> will integrate them for 1.0.
