Subject: Re: Update: rdebug / emacs / gud

My apologies for not seeing this sooner. It has come to my attention 
that there is a rdebug.el distributed with Ruby 1.8.6.

Independently I had been writing/revising my own rdebug.el. and it's now 
in ruby-debug's SVN in the emacs directory. Had I known there was 
another rdebug.el around, I think I would have tried to avoid that 
confusion.

The rdebug.el in SVN a bit more filled out. It probably can be used with 
0.9.3 (since I started writing it in that release). But it really should 
be used with the ruby-debug that is in SVN since rdebug now supports 
gdb-style annotations. Also the rdebug.el in SVN probably should be used 
with Emacs 23. (It might however work in Emacs 22).

I'll write to the author of the other rdebug.el to see what we can do. 
Perhaps this can be used to support older Emacs versions.

As for getting this cleared up so in Ruby 1.8.7, I'm kind of new to this 
and would appreciate suggestions. At a minimum I will post a tracker 
ticket.

My apologies for the confusion.
