The answer to that was that I wanted to run ruby 2.1, which isn't packaged for 13.1.
I see 2.0, 2.1, 1.9... Where did you look? <http://software.opensuse.org/package/ruby?search_term=%22ruby%22> Make sure that you tick "Show unstable packages", which really means "show unofficial packages". Notice that only the oss and non-oss repos are "official".
Coming from the Debian world, where mixing version 7.5 with version 7.7 is no big deal, this takes some getting used to.
Of course you can, as long as somebody packages it. If not, you can create the package yourself.
Is there any chance Tumbleweed contains the answer to my problem?
No. TW should always have the most recent version of everything, as it is a rolling (beta) release. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
