Status of racc in 1.8.0?

Hi –

I’m trying to work out how much of racc is included in Ruby 1.8.0.

As far as I can tell, the racc library is included, but the racc
script is not.

Racc seems to have stabilised at 1.4.3 – is this the same version as
in 1.8.0?

[Reason: I’m doing the Ruby packages on Gentoo and have to work out
whether racc needs to be kept as a separate package or if it has been
completely superceeded by 1.8.0. Particularly, I’m worried that
installing racc 1.4.3 over Ruby 1.8.0 will cause things to break.]

Thanks,

Tom

Yes. Installing Racc 1.4.3 on the Ruby 1.8.0 is safe
and compatible. If something goes wrong, it’s a bug.
Please mail me.
