Bug #2355

closed

Please update rubygems!

Added by mame (Yusuke Endoh) over 14 years ago. Updated almost 13 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Target version:
ruby -v:
ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-11-11 trunk 25717) [i686-linux]
Backport:
[ruby-core:26679]

Description

=begin
On the trunk:

$ gem19 install gemcutter
ERROR: Error installing gemcutter:
gemcutter requires RubyGems version >= 1.3.5

Some standard libraries including rubygems are developed in maintainer's
own repository and some of changes are sometimes committed together to
ruby-core repository.

Matz complained about such a development style in [ruby-dev:39373]:

| I have hated the development process in that some maintainers develop
| their libraries in their own repository and commit together into ruby-
| core repository. For example, I hear that _why has some uncommitted
| updates of Syck in his own repository. And, REXML.
|
| It's OK for maintainers to have their own repository because of the
| age of distributed VCS. But it should be synchronized with ruby-core
| repository bi-directionally. Some problems actually occur.

I completely agree with matz. The HEAD of all standard libraries should
be put in core repository.

This ticket is registered as [BUG] because this is a bug of the development
process.
