Hi.
After some discussion along with PR pkg/29227, I'll merge these
package to ruby base package.
ruby-digest => ruby16 and ruby18
ruby-openssl => ruby18
o ruby-digest provide message digest libraries (md5, cmd160, sha1 and
sha2). Since these message digest functions are used by standard
Ruby's libraries, separating ruby-digest break thses libraries
unusable unless installing ruby-digest package.
o ruby-digest (really Ruby 1.6.8 and Ruby 1.8.2) assume to use OpenSSL
for most of message digest functions (md5, cmd160 and sha1). So,
merging ruby-digest package to ruby16 or ruby18 results these
packages depend on OpenSSL (which might be provided by base system).
o Ruby 1.8 includes openssl extention library. If ruby18 package
assume existence of OpenSSL, there is no reason to separate
ruby-openssl pacakge.
Drawback is ruby16 and ruby18 depends on OpenSSL, so openssl package
would be needed on some platforms.
Any comments?
