The ruby modes package is using a very very old version of
ruby-mode.el. Could it please be updated? The latest one is
available from the latest ruby tarballs (but I'm sure whoever's in
charge of it knows this already).
Nobody knows, because nobody's in charge of that package. Package
updates are handled by volunteers, just like everything else in
XEmacs. There has been no maintainer for that package since January
2003.
Would you like to be in charge of the ruby modes? If so, send mail to
cvs-manager(a)xemacs.org with an SSH key (preferably SSH2, but SSH1 is
acceptable) and a preferred nickname. If nobody on the review board
has an objection, we'll give you the necessary permission to update
CVS. Actually making the packages is done by XEmacs staff; all you
need to do is to keep the package up to date and keep an eye on the
various related channels for ruby mode bug reports and new upstream
releases.
