From: "shevegen (Robert A. Heiler)" Date: 2013-12-01T21:41:45+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:58740] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8584] Remove curses Issue #8584 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler). (Sidenote, not related to this, but all of ruby's stdlib should become as modular as possible, so users could toggle on/off what components of ruby they want to have included, perhaps with rubygems able to allow for this. "gem uninstall webrick" for instance if a user really won't need that, and so forth.) ---------------------------------------- Bug #8584: Remove curses https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8584#change-43308 Author: shugo (Shugo Maeda) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: naruse (Yui NARUSE) Category: ext Target version: current: 2.1.0 ruby -v: 2.1.0dev Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN I'd like to remove curses from the Ruby standard library. I believe the standard library should get as small as possible, and I can't find any reason to have curses except for a compatibility reason. And Ruby has RubyGems now, so it's enough to have curses.gem for compatibility. I've created a repository for curses.gem. https://github.com/shugo/curses I'm not a user of curses now, so it would be great if someone can take over it. Can I remove curses from Ruby 2.1? -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
