This change doesn't have effect on 1.9 and 1.8 because Makefile on 1.9 and 1.8 doesn't have .time. So the gsub is just ignored. > I trust your judgement in adding this to RubyGems. If you commit it to Ruby please commit it to RubyGems and let me know! Thanks. :-) I've committed this change to Ruby and RubyGems with a test case. Detail is written in commit message of the commit at the RubyGems repository: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/commit/a7cd1be541f2194fc8c1436d86bc05eb3a94500d ---------------------------------------- Bug #7698: RubyGems 2.0 has an incompatibility about installation of extension libraries https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7698#change-35460 Author: mrkn (Kenta Murata) Status: Closed 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/
