Or bundle newer rdoc?

Bug #2066 is written by Run Paint Run Run 136 days ago, but it is not yet.

Moreover rdoc has some open bugs for 1 year.
test-all failure and crash bugs need to fixed but not fixed.
I, maintaining Redmine's tickets, hate those unmaintained libraries.

In that case, should we ask for new volunteer instead of removing it?

Is my understanding that rdoc has been updated and maintained by Eric
Hodel, at least eh gem was.

If integration with Ruby is the problem, then removal and optional
installation for the user should be the solution, right?

If someone maintain rdoc lib in Ruby, it is clear.

That's what I don't understand.  Eric has commit privilege.  If he
still maintains rdoc gem, I see no reason he doesn't update the
bundled rdoc as well.  If he stops maintaining rdoc, we need new
maintainer.  If he keeps working on it, I expect him to update bundled
rdoc as well.

I think so too.

Yeah, I think so.
rdoc is pure ruby, so it won't be a severe problem,
even if Ruby's installation process needs some changes.

I don't know much about the "latest" rdoc, but according to [ruby-core:27667],
I understand that simply updating causes compatibility problem because:

> The latest RDoc no longer has the HTML generator at all.


The reporter in [ruby-core:27656] followed proper reporting procedure (i.e.,
tested and patched against 1.9 trunk).  Ruby's development process is wrong.
It is too confusing for rdoc to have independent trunk.
In [ruby-core:27667],

> I fixed this memory issue by deleting the file.

is equal to "I fixed in my own envirionment!"  It does not answer.


I wonder why some standard libraries (RubyGems, Rake, rdoc, etc.) need
to have independent development process and independent release.
I said in [ruby-core:26679], they should be developed and released with
ruby core if they are really parts of ruby core.

Then we should eject ALL of standard lib from trunk. Gemify all of them and kick them out the door.

Maybe we should bundle some gems, but they should install as actual gems and be freely upgradable by the user.

Like it or not, rdoc, minitest (and test/unit), rubygems, rexml, and yaml (and others?) are all separate products that are produced independent of trunk. In my opinion, it works BETTER that way, not worse. What doesn't work is having to slow down releases because ruby releases are so few and far between.

Rake. Rex. Racc.

I don't think it is a problem that some libraries are developed out of
Ruby's repos,
until the maintainer fixes bugs created in Ruby's Redmine and update
the lib in trunk.
Current minitest, nkf, JSON,  is doing that. (I maintain nkf and JSON)
REXML, YAML, racc are note developed.
rake doesn't but not have reported bugs.

It brings some benefits, but problems actually occur.

- slow synchronization between the "latest" and ruby trunk
- empty answer that the issue is fixed in the "latest"
- neglect of tickets in ruby's redmine
- incompatible change to the "latest"

These problems do not occur or are detected early if they
are developed in ruby trunk.  Nobody would say anything if
such a problem does not occur, I think.
