Synopsis

ruby enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Enhanced ruby packages are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

[Updated 6 Apr 2011] The text of this advisory has been updated to reflect the fact that these packages are not new in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for quick-and-easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and perform system management tasks, similar to Perl. It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.

This enhancement update moves the ruby-rdoc and ruby-devel packages from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Optional channels to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 base channels. This update does not make any other changes to packages. (BZ#810128)

All users who require ruby should install these enhanced packages.
