The package is actually at
   <http://svn.blastwave.org/trac/browser/csw/trunk/lang/ruby>
Sorry.

Thanks to Dennis the issue seems to be resolved now. Thanks

GAR usually takes care of this automatically. You can find
introductory documents at
   <http://svn.blastwave.org/trac/wiki>
especially
   <http://svn.blastwave.org/trac/wiki/GettingStarted>
   <http://svn.blastwave.org/trac/wiki/GarTutorial>
The tutorial is not finished yet, any feedback on the
documentation is welcome :-)
