Hello Tommy,

Thanks for taking the time to submit this request. With all new package
requests, we evaluate if it would be a good fit for IUS and if it is
maintainable with our current resources.

In the past, interest in Ruby packages has been short lived.  Due to
this, I have not done much investigation regarding adding Ruby to IUS.
I can start looking into what it would take to package an updated
version of Ruby.   Please note, that maintaining our current work load
does take priority over new packages and I do not know much about Ruby.

Could you please clarify 'bunch of "gems"'.  Generally, we only package
modules as requested.  Are there specific gems that you need or would be
consider essential? I ask as, I got approached to package a single ruby
gem based on stock ruby for a separate project.  It turns out that one
gem required like ten other gems, so I would need to package almost a
dozen gems.  That was more work than I could devote to that project.  Do
most gems have a long dependency tree of other gems?

If it looks like we could add Ruby, would you be available to do
testing?  We require feedback from the requester before we push a new
package into the stable repos.

-Ben
