Subject: [ruby-core:43115] [ruby-trunk - Bug #6123][Rejected] Properly gemify BigDecimal


Issue #6123 has been updated by Yui NARUSE.

Status changed from Open to Rejected

This is not only for bigdecimal but also io-console, json, minitest, psych, rake, and rdoc.
It is because they are not true gem, they are fake gem.

Bug #6123: Properly gemify BigDecimal
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6123

Author: Vit Ondruch
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30) [x86_64-linux]


BigDecimal is available as a gem, however, the version in Ruby is crippled. It just tries to mimic gems, but it is not gem. So currently:

$ ruby -e "puts require('bigdecimal')"
true
$ ruby --disable-gems -e "puts require('bigdecimal')"
true

However, I would expect following behavior:

$ ruby -e "puts require('bigdecimal')"
true
$ ruby --disable-gems -e "puts require('bigdecimal')"
fail

The point is that the bigdecimal.so is still in Ruby's load path, although it should be managed by RubyGems if it is gem. Moreover, if the independent gem in RubyGems.org would be updated, it will never be used. Please consider fixing it.
