Thanks for the very interesting link. I understand why it is necessary to freeze the rails version for an application, and why such framework are a different problem. However, that's only a small part of the issue: most gems that are typically vendored are only used through a relatively simple API, and there's no real reason to vendor and freeze those. And the core+stdlib don't really have valid reasons for significantly breaking the API, especially between versions of Ruby 1.8.7.X. Of course, that requires efforts. But the consequence of not doing that work is that people tend to stay with ancient versions of the interpreter, do not consider it interesting to try newer versions, and we end up with Ruby 1.9: first snapshot package uploaded to Debian 5 years ago, and still not widely used by the Ruby community because the cost of migration is too high. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lucas@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lucas@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F |
