- Ruby for Debian GNU/Linux
- -------------------------
-
- This is Ruby package for Debian GNU/Linux.
-
- Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy
- object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and
- to do system management tasks (as in perl). It is simple, straight-forward,
- and extensible.
-
- Homepage of Ruby is:
-
- <URL:http://www.ruby-lang.org/> (English and Japanese)
-
- And you can find helpful library or tools from RAA:
-
- <URL:http://raa.ruby-lang.org/> (English)
- <URL:http://rubyforge.org/> (English)
-
-
- Notes for Debian users:
-
- * You can use /usr/bin/ruby1.8.
-
- * The package includes some changes (almost bugfixes) from upstream
- release. Each change is listed in /usr/share/doc/ruby1.8/changelog.gz
- file.
-
- * ``sitedir'' is /usr/local/lib/site_ruby, so ``$:'' (or ``$LOAD_PATH'')
- contains the following:
-
- ["/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8",
- "/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i486-linux", "/usr/local/lib/site_ruby",
- "/usr/lib/ruby/1.8", "/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux", "."]
-
- ("1.8" means "#{major}.#{minor}" and "i486-linux" means "#{arch}-#{os}".)
-
- * "ruby" package provides default environment of Ruby on Debian.
- - /usr/bin/ruby
- - Debian Ruby Policy (/usr/share/doc/ruby/ruby-policy.txt.gz.)
-
-
- Notes for handling of HTTP_PROXY environment variable:
-
- SORP4R(soap) uses HTTP_PROXY environment variable and http_proxy environment
- variable only if soap_use_proxy environment is set as "on".
-
- open-uri ignores HTTP_PROXY environment variable under CGI. http_proxy
- environment variable and CGI_HTTP_PROXY envrironment variable are used.
-
- Net::HTTP(net/http) never rely on HTTP_PROXY environment variable.
-
