From: "mame (Yusuke Endoh) via ruby-core" Date: 2023-10-13T03:10:33+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:115029] [Ruby master Bug#19866] Future of `readline.rb` Issue #19866 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh). Status changed from Assigned to Rejected Discussed at the dev meeting, and agreed that the current status be maintained. * Dependency on external libraries is not very happy, but not a problem itself. Actually, set.rb had longly depended on rbtree gem. * As long as it is named `readline.rb`, it should respect `readline` library if it is available. * We see no benefit in removing it and forcing people to explicitly change to `require "reline"`. ---------------------------------------- Bug #19866: Future of `readline.rb` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19866#change-104900 * Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) * ruby -v: ruby 3.3.0dev (2023-09-05 master 7c8932365f) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I wonder what is the future of readline.rb? It still tries to load `readline.so` by default. Is this intended behavior? I'd say that instead, it should rather fire a deprecation warning and load reline. Or maybe the whole readline gem should be completely removed? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
