I have just updated the package in the preliminary Ruby Production Archive
(RPA) repository (http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=265)

$ rpa query diff-lcs
Matching available ports:
diff-lcs  1.1.0-1  LCS algorithm to compute differences between two
enumerable containers

As usual, it can be installed/upgraded with
   rpa install diff-lcs

When reviewing the library while packaging, I have found some small
quirks, which I fixed in the RPA package (note that the following is
not the exact patch I applied):
