+Porting Notes
+=============
+
+Ruby 1.9 and newer need a working Ruby interpreter to configure/build
+(see debian/rules calling ./configure with --with-baseruby).
+Ruby 1.8 does NOT need Ruby to build, just gcc-4.6.
+
+This packages will build against ruby1.8 if available (and there is not a
+actually supported Ruby installed), so you need a ruby1.8 package. If needed,
+build one from archive.debian.org.
+
+Good luck!
