Hi, 2010/2/27 Jon : > A few suggestions that may pragmatically help with the windows support issues while recognizing the current resourcing concerns: > > 1) Those interested in getting key Windows issues resolved should create a Windows-specific issue summary page similar to http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/wiki/ruby/SomeCoreFeaturesFor192 Yes, it will be very helpful for us. > 2) I request that the current committers who are responsible for resolving Windows-specific issues (Nakada-san?, Endoh-san?, ??) and Matz review the current process for how Windows issues are resourced, and communicate back how (specifically) you would like Windows developers to help work the issues. > *snip* > > b) Identify one current core committer (our Windows Champion) responsible for Windows patches committed to core. http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/wiki/ruby/Maintainers mswin32, mswin64 : NAKAMURA Usaku (usa) mingw32 : Nobuyoshi Nakada (nobu) mingw64, cygwin : none > 3) And finally, I suspect there may be a perception that Windows issues for the MRI implementation may not be taken as serious as MRI impl issues for other platforms. This is because few committers are interested in windows (only usa, nobu, eban, and ko1?). Though I tries mingw now, I'm not going to continue. If anyone arranges a nightly build/test environment for windows and reports to us whenever any regression occurs, I guess it will be really helpful. Of course, I'm talking about a topic after 1.9.2 is released and current errors on windows are fixed enough. >> In fact, I'm reluctantly tackling mingw but I'm now dizzy :-( > > Perhaps we can help reduce your struggling at http://groups.google.com/group/rubyinstaller as we have people of varying skill sets monitoring the list. Thanks, but I managed to get the current result of RubySpec on windows and fix many trivial issues. But I confirmed that very many false errors (wrong specs for windows) seem to still remain. Anyone please check them and contribute to RubySpec :-) -- Yusuke ENDOH
