There is no apt-get install ruby1.9.2 yet on Linux?

Question

The page http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ only says 1.9.1 for Linux.

Right now I am using RVM to do an

rvm install 1.9.2

and it needs compilation. There is no apt-get install way to install it?

Is there a way to list all Ruby version apt-get can install?

Answer 1

To list available versions you can use the following command:

 apt-cache search --names-only '^ruby1.*'

If you use Debian, 1.8, 1.9, 1.9.1 are availble on testing. 1.9.2 is only available on unstable.

Answer 2

It's only been 3 weeks, give it some time :P

Answer 3

in debian squeeze and sid the 1.9.1 package is in fact based on the 1.9.2 branch according to this search: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=ruby1.9.1&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

and the changelog says that too: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/r/ruby1.9.1/ruby1.9.1_1.9.2~svn28788-1/changelog
