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.
Features of Ruby are shown below.
+ Simple Syntax
+ *Normal* Object-Oriented features(ex. class, method calls)
+ *Advanced* Object-Oriented features(ex. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
+ Operator Overloading
+ Exception Handling
+ Iterators and Closures
+ Garbage Collection
+ Dynamic Loading of Object files(on some architecture)
+ Highly Portable(works on many UNIX machines, and on DOS,
Windows, Mac, BeOS etc.)

===> The following configuration options are available for ruby18-1.8.7.371,1:
DEBUG=off: Compile-in debug info
ONIGURUMA=off: Build with oniguruma regular expressions lib
RDOC=on: Build and install Rdoc indexes
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
bsd.ruby.mk:
- Change LOCALBASE with _RUBY_BASE
- Set _RUBY_BASE=PREFIX if defined _RUBY_PORT_TEST
_RUBY_BASE=LOCALBASE otherwise for easy ports testing.
lang/ruby18:
- Update to 1.8.3
Grant maintainership to submitter.
While I'm here:
- Add _RUBY_PORT_TEST=yes to lang/ruby16 port too.
(lang/ruby1[68] must set it for right install).

Disable threads again; it has caused the more troubles. This time, it has
${PTHREAD_CFLAGS} and ${PTHREAD_LIBS} include in the build to kill the
headache of old '_r' and can't run with something like ruby-opengl, ruby-sdl,
ruby-gtk2 and etc on FreeBSD 4.x or older 5.x. With this commit should solve
those issues. It is recommend you to rebuild any apps that depend on
lang/ruby18, so see the UPDATING for detail.
Remove the 'BROKEN' on the other ports that knu has added them few weeks ago.
Some of them have been tested, so if one of them is still broke then please
let us know and one of us will re-add the 'BROKEN'.
This changes was worked by lofi and me. lofi did everything on FreeBSD 4.x
and I did others. lofi, thanks for help!
Tested by: many people
Tested on: i386 (FreeBSD 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), amd64 (FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x),
and sparc64 (FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x)
Not test on: ia64 and alpha

The slippery pthread support for systems prior to 502102 has been
dropped and the lang/ruby16_r and lang/ruby18_r ports have been
removed, since no one seems to appreciate the partially working
solution.
Good news is that the pthread support of lang/ruby18 is now enabled by
default for newer systems, which means the ruby interpreter is linked
with libpthread. This will allow threaded extension libraries to run
and work properly on those systems.
The --march=cputype flag is disabled because it gets ruby to
malfunction and fail to build. I don't know if the problem is in
libpthread or in gcc.
(It really makes me wonder if they had actually tested before asking
me to do this somewhat risky change ;-)
Update lang/ruby18 to 1.8.2-preview4.
* Please upgrade sysutils/portupgrade prior to this one, or pkgdb(1)
may coredump with a double free() problem from a misuse of the DL
module. In that case, reinstall sysutils/portupgrade manually.
Change the default version of ruby to 1.8 for i386 as well, finally.
Always put a version suffix to the ruby name (no matter if ruby is the
default version) to avoid mess in future.
[Notes for i386 users]
If you are a ruby developer and still want to stick with ruby 1.6 as
default, please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf.
If you are a ruby developer and want to keep ruby 1.6 as default,
please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf. Otherwise, please
run the following series of commands to migrate to ruby 1.8:
1) Reinstall portupgrade manually (and ruby 1.8 will be installed)
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Fix the build on ia64:
The __libc_ia64_register_backing_store_base variable is defined on
Linux (in glibc) to allow processes to obtain the base of the RSE
backing store. On FreeBSD we do not have such a variable. We also
do not yet have a different interface for processes to use. So, for
now, hardcode the base address of the RSE backing store as it is
on FreeBSD. There's little chance this will change in the future,
so it's not that evil.

Update lang/ruby18 to the latest snapshot as of 2003-09-09.
Many bugs have been fixed since the 1.8.0 release. (The diff file is
very big because some big files were moved, sorry)
