[one-users] ONE 2.0 and Ruby versions

[Steven C Timm]

Thanks for the explanation, Javier--I was wondering because the opennebula 2.0 documentation states that ruby 1.8.6 or greater is required, and yet all the evidence showed that we had been running stably for two years with ruby 1.8.5.  If I remember correctly we had to force old versions of gems to make it work with ruby 1.8.5, some of which are no longer available.  We will update the gems before we restart, and stay with ruby 1.8.7.    And then get all our vm's over to our new opennebula 3.x based cloud as soon as we can.

OpenNebula 2.0 is made to be compatible with both 1.8.5 and 1.8.7. I think it is better if you install again those gems as some have compiled parts and you will have less risks if they are compiled for the same ruby version you are using. Using the latest versions of those gems should be ok.
