Name        : xchat-ruby
Product     : Fedora 16
Version     : 1.2
Release     : 11.fc16
URL         : http://xchat-ruby.sourceforge.net/
Summary     : An X-Chat plugin providing scripting functionality with Ruby
Description :
For those of us that prefer the Ruby programming language above all
others, the XChat-Ruby Plugin now allows X-Chat plugins to be written
in Ruby, in addition to the other supported scripting interfaces. This
means that, for the first time, you can use a purely object-oriented
language in which to write X-Chat plugins.
