Hello
I need to add some extra packages to my LTIB setup, including Ruby, and
was wondering whether anybody has any recommendations regarding choosing
appropriate source packages/patch sets.
I'm currently considering either:
a) Downloading the original source from package maintainer's site, or
b) Downloading the Debian source package and the associated patch set,if
any.
I am guessing that option a) may give me a more recent version, but
presumably patched Debian versions may offer some advantages such as
fixes, updates, improved cross-build compatibility etc.
I'd be interested to know what approach others have taken and whether
anybody else has Ruby working.
Thanks
Mark
