A while back we had a thread where I suggested a kind of super-require
that would go and fetch packages automatically on request, but this
was generally thought to be a bad idea. The stuff I'm suggesting here
doesn't do that; it simply uses whatever it finds in your RUBYPATH,
just as 'require' does now.
So, if 1.3.8 has a bug, and you happened to be unlucky enough to
download it for the 6 hours it was available, I guess you download
1.3.9 and the problem goes away. I don't see how else we can do it: we
can't assume we're online, so we can't go query the RAA, and previous
versions of a package can't predict that 1.3.8 will be a bad-un.
Or am I (yet again) missing the point?
Regards
Dave
