Ruby Enterprise 1.8.7-2010.01 Packages for Ubuntu Hardy & Lucid 17 May 10
We’ve built new 32bit and 64bit Ruby Enterprise 1.8.7-2010.01 packages for Ubuntu Hardy and Lucid. The new packages are now the default on new Lucid beta boxes. For Hardy, as before these packages are quite a major change from the default Hardy Ruby interpreter,which is 1.8.6, so we recommend you test thoroughly before putting it into production.
As with our other Ruby EE packages, they upgrade (i.e replace) the standard 1.8 Ruby installation. This means all your gems stay the same, and everything on your system immediately starts using them (Phusion’s own Ubuntu packages do not work like this).
These packages are also the best way to get Ruby 1.8.7 on Hardy, which you’ll need if you’re playing with Rails 3.
If you’re on a Hardy based Brightbox, just create or edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brightbox-rubyee.list to contain the rubyee-testing component like so:
deb http://apt.brightbox.net/ hardy rubyee-testingIf you’re on one of our Lucid beta boxes provisioned before today, simply create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brightbox-rubyee.list and add the rubyee component:
deb http://apt.brightbox.net/ lucid rubyeeFinally, update and upgrade libruby1.8:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libruby1.8 irb1.8 libopenssl-ruby1.8 libreadline-ruby1.8 rdoc1.8 ruby1.8
If you’re not on a Brightbox, see the instructions on our wiki first. The wiki also documents how to revert back to the old packages.

Great work.
One small thing though – when I rung the sudo apt-get install… command on a local VMWare VM I get “Couldn’t find package rb1.8″. Should it be irb1.8 instead?

It should indeed, sorry! Thanks for spotting that, I’ve edited the post.

Any chance to get 2010.02 packages soon? Apparently there is a fairly major bug in 1.8.7p248/249, which REE has backported fixes for:
> Fixed a Marshal bug that was apparently caused by GCC optimizations. This is a major bug that appears to be responsible for all the REE crash bug reports of late. It is so severe that the Rails 3 documentation actually recommends not using 1.8.7-p248 and 1.8.7-p249

I currently have a 2010.02 package in testing that should be released before the end of the week. We’re aware of the issues with 2010.01.

Hi,
I have dependency problem. libopenssl-ruby1.8 require libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8k-1), but in Hardy is 0.9.8g (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libssl0.9.8).

@Boblin Thanks for spotting that! I’ve built new hardy packages with the dependency issue fixed. If you ‘apt-get update’ you should be able to install libopenssl-ruby1.8 without any issues now.
