The consensus in the Ruby community is that 1.8.7 introduces unnecessary incompatibilities without really adding value. 1.8.7 is meant as a transitional package to Ruby 1.9, but the majority of Ruby users will want to keep using Ruby 1.8.6 until they switch directly to Ruby 1.9.1. You should focus on maintaining Ruby 1.8.6 and Ruby 1.9.1 in parallel. Ruby 1.8.7 should be passed over unless there is a very clear demand from Fedora users to introduce it. -- With kind regards, Uwe Kubosch Kubosch Consulting Norway
