From: headius@... Date: 2017-02-13T18:35:01+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:79522] [Ruby trunk Feature#5481] Gemifying Ruby standard library Issue #5481 has been updated by Charles Nutter. Please coordinate with us on the JRuby team. The released gems will need to be loadable in JRuby, since people will start depending on specific versions, upgrading them independently, etc. MOST of stdlib in JRuby is identical to that in CRuby, but we do have a small set of patches. The diff can be seen by comparing the `jruby-ruby-2_4` branch on our fork at http://github.com/jruby/ruby with the release version of Ruby 2.4, or similar branch for Ruby 2.3. Of special concern are any stdlib that have C extensions. For those we can support, we have Java versions, and those will need to be released as gems as well. We don't want another `bigdecimal` issue where there's a core gem that can't load on JRuby. ---------------------------------------- Feature #5481: Gemifying Ruby standard library https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5481#change-62969 * Author: Hiroshi Nakamura * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Hiroshi SHIBATA * Target version: next minor ---------------------------------------- =begin Up-to-date summary of this proposal is at (()) == Motivation * ruby's release cycle is slow for some standard libraries; * ex. security fix for WEBrick, xmlrpc and Zlib. * ex. API iteration for net/http, OpenSSL, json, psych, RDoc, minitest and rake. * There's already the feature called 'default gems' in ruby and some stdlibs are already using it: * rake, rdoc, minitest, json, io-console, bigdecimal * And some gems are already doing out-of-band releases. * When releasing we should give independence equally to all stdlibs, but in a consistent and controllable way. == Proposal * Allow out-of-band stdlib releases. * We are not proposing changes to ruby's release management, the release manager would decide when they release ruby and stdlib. * Allow more stdlibs to be installed as a 'default gem' * Register these gems on RubyGems.org * Introduce a new mechanism: controlling supported ruby version so that we can avoid installing unexpected version of stdlib gems. For example, a WEBrick gem for ruby 2.0.1 (released from ruby_2_0_1 branch) should not be installed for ruby 2.0.0 (released from ruby_2_0_0 branch) unless we know it works for both 2.0.0 and 2.0.1. Note: * Moving stdlibs repository location is not a target of this proposal. The implementation details of stdlib gems should hide this from ruby committers. * ruby_1_9_3 is not a target of this proposal. The change should be introduced from 2.0.0 release. ...Some more details of the proposal and discussion topics are going to follow as comments. =end ---Files-------------------------------- 5481.pdf (78.2 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
