dev-lang/ruby-1.8.7_p72-r10 was pushed out via portage today.  Until
now, I was not confronted head-on with this ruby version issue.  Is
anything >=1.8.6 still an issue with metasploit, even for the svn
trunk?  If so, when is that likely to change?



I am an ex-gentoo user myself (2008.0 upgrade was fail); I swear they
fixed it previously ( I had commented on the bug in their repo ), the
problem with 1.8.6/1.8.7 is that the Ruby devs have yet to cut a new
"release" with the fix; right now only the latest stable snapshot is
fixed, so it comes down to petitioning the package maintainers for each
major distribution.

If you are using a platform affected by this issue, please file a bug
with your ruby package maintainer and point them at:

Thanks!
