Hi,

This is ruby-dev summary 26385-26467.

[ruby-dev:26421] Subversion

Shugo Maeda proposed that we should use Subversion instead of CVS on the
Ruby development. This proposal was posted to ruby-core too.

  http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/5296

Most Japanese developers accepted it.  Matz accepted it if there is a
tool corresponds to pcl-cvs.  Kouhei Sutou created a test repository on
Subverion (*1) which imported current Ruby CVS repository.  Akira Tanaka
suggested that annotate (blame) function on Subversion is too slow in
comparison with CVS.

*1) http://www.cozmixng.org/repos/ruby-svn/
    [ruby-core:5374] Subversion repository for tests
    http://www.ruby-talk.org/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/5374

This issue is still open.


[ruby-dev:26463] String#each_byte and String#each_char

NARUSE, Yui proposed that Ruby HEAD should include following functions.

1)  String#each_byte (without block) #=> Array
    It's same function as "'string'.unpack('C*')".
2)  String#each_char (without block) #=> Array
3)  String#each_char (with block)    #=> str
    String#each_char is same as "'string'.split(//).each".

Matz rejected (1) and (2), because it's not feature for "each". He
agreed to import these method if there are any suitable name.

And Matz accepted String#each_char (with block).

Kazuhiro NISHIYAMA suggested "collect_byte" for this method.

This issue is still open.
