notice: upcoming ruby 1.6.8 → 1.8.2 switch

I think I sent this to all the ruby users, but just in case I missed someone:

Several people have asked me to upgrade ruby from version 1.6.8 to version 1.8.2. My plan is to do this in the very near future, but for various rpm-related issues, this entails removing the older version.

Please let me know as soon as possible if this will cause a problem for you.

sqlite upgraded

I just upgraded the sqlite binaries and shared library to version 3.2.1 on all machines.

Sometime between the old version we had (3.0.8) and this one, they finally implemented ALTER TABLE!
