Translating from [ruby-dev:46864], Tadashi said: > We can avoid this bug by changing directory tree in gems. > But, Current status means any gems may be not installable after 2.0.0, by incompatibility in current rubygem bundled in 2.0.0. > So, I propose the following solutions: > 1. Revert that incompatibility before 2.0.0 release or 2.0.0's first patch level release to make such gems installable. > 2. If you cannot, please review all gems that installable in 2.0.0 and notify to authors if a gem can't be installed in 2.0.0. > (This may be rubygems.org's task) > 3. Announce that like "Your gem may be not installable in 2.0.0" to all gem authors. > I think solution (1) is the best. (2) seems high-cost. > (3) is the worst way for me, because I've not seen an announcement like such, > and seems too late to announce. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7698: RubyGems 2.0 has an incompatibility about installation of extension libraries https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7698#change-35423 Author: mrkn (Kenta Murata) Status: Open Priority: High Assignee: kou (Kouhei Sutou) Category: lib Target version: 2.0.0 ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2013-01-14 trunk 38812) [x86_64-linux] The current rubygem included in ruby-head has an incompatibility about installation of extension libraries. This incompatibility makes `make install` to be failed because the current gem doesn't separate build, source and install directories. This is reported as a bug of bigdecimal's gemspec in #7344 firstly, but Tadashi Saito pointed out it also can be reproduced in other gems including extension libraries, such as decimal.gem. I think this incompatibility will make gem-developers to be in trouble after ruby-2.0 is released. So this should be resolved before ruby-2.0 is released. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
