I was surprised to see that nobody has packaged FXRuby for Debian. I am
in the beginning stages of becoming a Debian developer (i.e. reading
lots of docs) and this would be a great candidate to package. I don't
want to duplicate effort though, so I thought I'd double-check here (the
Debian WNPP indicates nobody has stepped up to the plate yet).
I packaged it some time ago.
Take a look at
http://www.rubyide.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DebianInstall .
You'll find the lines to add to sources.list; you can get the Debianized
sources that way. I took some time to make sure you can rebuild the
packages by using apt-build.
Actually, I had to package all the dependencies of FreeRIDE, so I ended
up making the following:
Package: freeride

Description: an IDE for the Ruby programming language
FreeRIDE aims to be a first-class IDE on par with those available for other
languages. These goals include:
* Cross-Platform -- FreeRIDE will run on as many platforms as possible.
* International -- FreeRIDE will be easily translated into other languages
and will include features that make it easier to develop Ruby applications
that can be internationalized.
* Plugin Architecture -- FreeRIDE's plugin architecture will make it easy
for any developer to extend the features of FreeRIDE.
* Extreme Programming -- FreeRIDE will include features that make it easy
to use many practices that have been popularized by the Extreme Programming
method. This will include collaboration support for remote pair programming,
unit testing support for test-first coding, refactoring support, and more.
* Code Editing & Navigation -- All the now-standard code editing and
navigation features you would find in any high-end IDE, including syntax
highlighting, code completion, template expansion, class browsing, etc.

Description: FOX GUI library bindings for Ruby.
FOX is a C++ based Toolkit for developing Graphical User Interfaces
easily and effectively. It offers a wide, and growing, collection
of Controls, and provides state of the art facilities such as drag
and drop, selection, as well as OpenGL widgets for 3D graphical
manipulation. FOX also implements icons, images, and user-convenience
features such as status line help, and tooltips. Tooltips may even be
used for 3D objects!
This package contains the bindings for using FOX inside Ruby.

Note I had to repackage libfox1.0 because the version in Debian at that
time was too old for FXRuby.
Congrats for entering Debian
I've thought of doing that several times
in the past but now I see it is probably too strong a commitment for me
Please tell me if you need help w/ the packages.
