>Description:
bsd.ruby.mk uses `.error' in multiple places:
117:.error You set the variable RUBY to "${RUBY}", but it does not seem to exist. Please specify an already installed ruby executable.
122:.error You set the variable RUBY to "${RUBY}", but it failed to include rbconfig. Please specify a properly installed ruby executable.
146:.error "Ruby 1.7 is obsolete; set RUBY_VER to 1.8 instead."
This has the ill effect that a misconfigured port breaks all port tools,
like INDEX building, pkg_version, portupgrade, chkversion and others.
I assume that tools that should report these misconfigurations, like
portsmon, are affected too.
Most port tools use make -V to extract information fro the ports,
so FreshPorts can do make -VPKGNAME -VBROKEN and could display that
port PKGNAME is broken because BROKEN.
Common practice in the ports tree is to set BROKEN in this case.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Replace `.error' with `BROKEN='
