Yes it is.  The packages have been combined and RubyUnit is no longer
actively maintained.

Test::Unit does have a RubyUnit emulation mode, so writing to Test::Unit
is probably your best bet.

Converting from RubyUnit to Test::Unit is pretty easy.  Generally it
involves ...

1) Changing "require 'runit'" to "require 'test/unit'".

2) Changing 
     class TestXYZ < RUNIT::TestCase
   to 
     class TestXYZ < Test::Unit::Testcase

3) Change and "assert_equals" to "assert_equal", and any
   "assert_exception" to "assert_raises"
