[ruby-core:87942] [Ruby trunk Feature#5481] Gemifying Ruby standard library

Issue #5481 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA).

>do the commits need to be done in the gem’s github repo and in MRI’s repo?

You can commit it only github or MRI repo(SVN).

When you did commit code to github repo only, I merge them to MRI repo each week or month.
(The case of MRI to GitHub is same instructions.)

I'm developing a merge tool between github and MRI repo and preparing an instruction guide about gemification until Ruby 2.6 release.

Up-to-date summary of this proposal is at ((<URL:https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby/wiki/StdlibGem>))

== 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.
