Hello,
I was wondering what was the story with FreeRIDE? About a month ago there
was a lot of talk about it, but I haven't heard much since. Is there
somewhere I can download it, or has it still not been released?
If not, is
there a timeframe for its (unofficial, of course

Anxiously looking forward to it (and very much appreciatively),

Thanks for your interest (and your patience!). I'm going to cross-post this
to the ruby ML to help keep everyone informed.
We haven't yet made an official release. We've been fixing a few
show-stopper problems, cleaning up the code, and writing documentation. Work
and family always seem to take priority, as well, so it has been taking
longer that we wanted. Our updated release task list is at:
http://www.rubyide.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Release_0.5.0_Tasks
FreeRIDE runs pretty well (although we haven't yet done any extensive QA
style testing), and if you are really anxious you can always get the latest
from CVS at:
FreeRIDE - CVS Repositories [Savannah]
The debugger doesn't work under Windows right now, but I believe it is
working under Linux (Rich, am I right about this?).
Finally, if you subscribe to the FreeRIDE announce mailing list, you'll be
among the first to know when the official release is available:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/mail/?group=freeride

Curt
Actually, the debugger is not working on either platform right
now. I am working it…really. I keep getting sidetracked
with making sure the core components work right (focus issues,
tabbing between components, abstractions, etc).

The debugger doesn’t work under Windows right now, but I

this?).
Some time ago I tried to run FreeRIDE but, being on a Debian GNU/Linux
Sid box, I didn’t have FXScintilla nor FXRuby installed.
I worked my way to make the pertinent packages, to avoid cluttering up my
/usr/local (yes, I do know stow
I’ve seen on the TODO list that you’re planning to make Debian
packages, so this might interest you.
Right now I have the following working in my sid box (haven’t tested it
thoroughly yet, but the packaging is quite simple indeed):
libfox-ruby
libfox-ruby1.7 (for the 1.7 branch, can coexist with the latter)
libfxscintilla1
libfxscintilla1-dev (headers and static lib)
Is this of any use for you?

Laurent is our guy that would be (or is) working on this, so I don’t know
myself. I’ll let Laurent answer you, but either way thanks for the offer.
