Subject: [ruby-core:50161] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7439][Assigned] Please revert r32841


Issue #7439 has been updated by luislavena (Luis Lavena).

Category set to build
Status changed from Open to Assigned
Assignee set to nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)

This was applied due a bunch of issues cross-compiling Ruby 1.9.x using Ruby 1.8.7 as baseline.

I'm not sure if this is still the case for BASERUBY being 1.8 and other changes that might not allow 1.8 to cross-compile 1.9.x

I'm assigning this to Nobu for final decision.

Bug #7439: Please revert r32841
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7439#change-33956

Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch)

ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-11-07 trunk 37807) [x86_64-linux]


I cannot find any reference why r32841 was committed and what is the real issue it solves, but since R1.8 cannot be used as a baseruby anymore (./ext/extmk.rb:228:in `extmake': undefined method `prepend' for #<String:0x7fed568d8e20> (NoMethodError)) nor is Ruby 1.8 supported, I propose to remove this workaround and stay with standard RubyGems functionality.
