Sorry Kurakin,

but the feature freez is already done for Quantal(month ago).

When you want to introduce a feature freez please read on here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureFreeze

and here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess

When there is already a debian package

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

(testing or sid or experimental)

you can use:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess

Please close this here as solved.

Oh have done a little error.

When you are not on Ubuntu12.10 (developer version)

you can try to introduce a backport to a previous Ubuntu version(e.g 12.04), when there is the package you mention in 12.10:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports

for searching to can use:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/

(choose quantal)

I am talking about future Ubuntu versions! This package have been removed in Quantal and has old 1.6 (today is 1.16) version in Precise...

But I think I can't help you as a programmer... I just ask will be this package maintained? And if no, what help is needed? P.S. RVM is maintained by Ubuntu, there is no RVM in Debian.

The package ruby-rvm was removed because "This package is unmaintained and aging",
see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby-rvm/+bug/881007

Three months ago a request has been made to Debian to introduce that package in Debian,
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=681413
When Debian picks that up, Ubuntu might perhaps follow.

Can you help with this problem?
