ruby-defaults: Ruby for Debian ------------------------------ The purpose of the ruby-defaults package is to provide binary packages (mostly metapackages) that will install the currently supported Ruby interpreter. Specifically: - ruby Depends on the default Ruby interpreter. - ruby-dev Depends on the development files for the default Ruby interpreter - ruby-all-dev Depends on the development files for all supported Ruby interpreters. This will usually be a single version (the default one), but during transitions in unstable multiple versions might be supported. If you are not building Ruby packages for Debian, you probably do not need it. When building Debian packages, it is OK to only build for the default version, and using just `ruby` (instead of hardcoding the current default) will do that in a future-proof way. To programmatically list all the supported versions, install the `gem2deb` package and run `dh_ruby --print-supported`. To determine which is the default version, just dereference the /usr/bin/ruby symbolic link.
