devel/ruby-backports 3.25.3 NetBSD

= Backports Library

* Yearning to use some of the new cool features in Ruby 2.0.0 while using 1.8.6? * One of your client is stuck with Ruby 1.8.6 but you want to use a gem using some features of 1.8.7? * Can't remember if you can use Array#sample or String#each_char on a friend's box?

This gem is for you!

The goal of 'backports' is to make it easier to write ruby code that runs across different versions of Ruby. All you need to bring any version of Ruby up to today's standards:

require 'backports'

This will bring in all the features of 1.8.7 (for Ruby 1.8.6) and many features of Ruby 1.9.1 (for Ruby 1.8.x), Ruby 1.9.2 and Ruby 1.9.3 (for all earlier versions)!
