Yeah I noticed the Ruby failure. If the machine running this buildbot
is being shared by some other use for you maybe we should split this
off. I have a KVM setup dedicated for Subversion work and would be
happy to host this slave as a dedicated guest. This would allow us to
have upgrades only when we wanted them for the specific build slave.
Obviously the work to move to 1.9 would still need to be done, but
there's really not much value in having our build bot fail on
something we're not expecting to work.
