[01:13] <raf1hh> hi all
[01:14] <raf1hh> has anybody any experience getting ruby 1.8.2 or 1.8.4 on a fresh 5.10 server?
[01:16] <lh317> i haven't.
[01:17] <raf1hh> there is so much conflicting info on this subject on google that my head hurts...
[01:17] <raf1hh> thought would ask sombody...
[01:18] <lh317> unless I'm missing something, it should be as easy as 'sudo apt-get install ruby'
[01:18] <raf1hh> yes, it installs 1.8.3 which is very buggy and not advised to be running
[01:18] <raf1hh> 1.8.2 and .4 are the two stable releases
[01:19] <lh317> breezy claims 1.8.2-9
[01:20] <lh317> so I have to wonder how you're getting 1.8.3.
[01:20] <raf1hh> but once you install it, it actually is 1.8.3
[01:20] <lh317> sure it's not like a CVS pull and the version is wrong?
[01:20] <lh317> that's what the changelog implies to me.
[01:21] <lh317> http://packages.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/r/ruby1.8/ruby1.8_1.8.2-9ubuntu1/changelog
[01:21] <lh317> hrm, i need to learn to read.  updated to 1.8.3-preview1 :/
[01:22] <raf1hh> is it possible/safe to install a package from debian unstable repository?
[01:22] <raf1hh> I guess more like possible without breaking too much stuff...
[01:22] <lh317> possible?  Yes.  Safe? depends.
[01:23] <lh317> for ruby, i'd imagine the answer is probably, but I haven't tried it.
[01:23] <lh317> anyway, add unstable to your apt.sources.list below breezy, and possibly pin that one package.
[01:24] <raf1hh> thanks, will give it a try
[01:25] <lh317> obviosuly, if you break it, I point and laugh and you keep the pieces ;)
[01:25] <raf1hh> thank god for VMWare snapshots :-p
[01:25] <lh317> indeed.
[01:26] <raf1hh> lh317: thanks for the help again
[01:26] <lh317> np
[02:31] <tarvid> In the thinking stage but I want to shape outgoing traffic.
[02:32] <tarvid> I have recently realized I cannot control incoming traffix except by deferring or dropping outgoing traffic
[02:32] <tarvid> In particular, downloads are screwing up my VOIP traffic
[02:32] <tarvid> any wisdom?
