I had some trouble downloading dependencies because of inability to 
download sources e.g. http://graphviz.org/ seems to be down. Ruby seems 
to build though, can we just review as normal and then push to core-updates?

I did rebuild all the packages in ruby.scm, and out of these about 1/3 
of packages failed to build, because at least these three packages' 
tests fail
* yard
* power_assert
* minitest_tu_shim

The first two presumably will be fixed upstream soon, but the third 
hasn't seen a release since Aug 2013, and the homepage listed on 
rubygems is dead. I guess we just have to encourage the only package we 
have packaged that uses tu_shim (term-ansicolor) to stop relying on it.

Thanks,
ben
