Comment on Ruby 1.8.7 retiredparent

Comments

Ubuntu/Debian does not ship with Ruby 1.9.1. They ship with Ruby 1.9.3 under the name of "ruby-1.9.1" because they are ABI compatible.

Ah yes, I was confused by the ABI level. They ship with 1.9.3p0 which you shouldn't use. The currently recommended version is 1.9.3p392 or p194...

Debian Wheezy (current stable) ships with Ruby 1.9.3-p194 + various patches [1].

[1] http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/ruby1.9.1

Ah yes, we're currently running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

ubuntu 13.04 is ruby 1.9.3p194 which i believe was the default for 12.10 as well
