All the packages you ever wanted… or not?
I have invited the people from ruby-talk to request packages for the Ruby Production Archive. So far the response has been a bit disappointing; seemingly no Rubyist wants to use software packaged with some care, or maybe it’s just that the 114 packages currently available cover all needs?

Come on, asking somebody else to do something for you isn’t that difficult, is it? If you prefer doing it yourself, just contact me and I’ll assist you :) But if I were you I’d just request more packages here.

If you want to try the 100+ packages available at the moment, you can install rpa-base in a couple minutes. Full refund guarantee (it can uninstall itself), and remember installs are atomic.

Update TOP

James Britt tried rpa-base on Win2K (and he had some problems that were fortunately solved quickly), and made me realize that the above could be read as implying that the packages in RPA are the only ones made "with some care". Of course I didn’t mean to imply that RPA packages are the only good ones. There are many good things out there, and in fact some of my packages might be buggy too, since the full QA process isn’t yet in place. So it’s not as good as it will get (hopefully :), but this doesn’t mean it’s not pretty OK on the average already… And if you don’t like a RPA package, you get a full refund (clean, transacted uninstall) ;-))
