From: "drbrain (Eric Hodel)" Date: 2013-01-16T03:38:19+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:51449] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7698] RubyGems 2.0 has an incompatibility about installation of extension libraries Issue #7698 has been updated by drbrain (Eric Hodel). I am unfamiliar with Makefiles, so what does this patch change? Also, .time is new in ruby 2.0, what effect does this have on ruby 1.9 and ruby 1.8? I trust your judgement in adding this to RubyGems. If you commit it to Ruby please commit it to RubyGems and let me know! ---------------------------------------- Bug #7698: RubyGems 2.0 has an incompatibility about installation of extension libraries https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7698#change-35435 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/
