Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible. Notes ====== This build script will install a newer version of ruby alongside the provided official Slackware ruby package, however it will overwrite /usr/lib{64}/libruby.so, so make sure to reinstall ruby package when you remove this package. This package is not required, as the standard Slackware system does provide a version of ruby. Execute using '/usr/bin/ruby2' to utilize. All binaries installed by this package are installed with an added "2" at the end of each. (ruby2, rake2, irb2, gem2, erb2, rdoc2, ri2)
