I see. Thank you. ---------------------------------------- Feature #5481: Gemifying Ruby standard library https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5481#change-62111 * Author: Hiroshi Nakamura * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Hiroshi SHIBATA * Target version: next minor ---------------------------------------- =begin Up-to-date summary of this proposal is at (()) == Motivation * ruby's release cycle is slow for some standard libraries; * ex. security fix for WEBrick, xmlrpc and Zlib. * ex. API iteration for net/http, OpenSSL, json, psych, RDoc, minitest and rake. * There's already the feature called 'default gems' in ruby and some stdlibs are already using it: * rake, rdoc, minitest, json, io-console, bigdecimal * And some gems are already doing out-of-band releases. * When releasing we should give independence equally to all stdlibs, but in a consistent and controllable way. == Proposal * Allow out-of-band stdlib releases. * We are not proposing changes to ruby's release management, the release manager would decide when they release ruby and stdlib. * Allow more stdlibs to be installed as a 'default gem' * Register these gems on RubyGems.org * Introduce a new mechanism: controlling supported ruby version so that we can avoid installing unexpected version of stdlib gems. For example, a WEBrick gem for ruby 2.0.1 (released from ruby_2_0_1 branch) should not be installed for ruby 2.0.0 (released from ruby_2_0_0 branch) unless we know it works for both 2.0.0 and 2.0.1. Note: * Moving stdlibs repository location is not a target of this proposal. The implementation details of stdlib gems should hide this from ruby committers. * ruby_1_9_3 is not a target of this proposal. The change should be introduced from 2.0.0 release. ...Some more details of the proposal and discussion topics are going to follow as comments. =end ---Files-------------------------------- 5481.pdf (78.2 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
