[DRE-maint] Bug#701918: ruby-build: Includes definitions for unbuildable versions

[Alex Young]

Package: ruby-build
Version: 20120524-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On a stock wheezy vm, I ran:

  $ apt-get install ruby-build
  $ apt-get build-dep ruby1.8
  $ mkdir ~/.rubies
  $ ruby-build 1.8.7-p302 ~/.rubies/1.8.7-p302

This failed with the following output:

  Downloading
  http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7-p302.tar.gz...
  Installing ruby-1.8.7-p302...

  make: *** [all] Error 1

This is due to a known problem with wheezy's SSL, which has no SSL2
support:

  http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4860

I would suggest that ruby definitions which are known not to be
buildable on wheezy be removed from /usr/share/ruby-build/.  However I
would also suggest that a way be found to support this specific version
of MRI, since it's the version in squeeze.
