As a part of our Boosters' sprint we try to get more packages to Factory. I checked d:l:r:e and only 44 out of 662 rubygems maintained there are also submitted to Factory. I'd like to start a discussion if we want to create out-of-the-box experience for Ruby developers or we'd rather force them to add d:l:r:e repo to their system.
Besides the fact that I totally object the 'one big repo' approach of Factory[1], I do not think this is maintainable at all.
I do not object pointing openSUSE users to d:l:r:e but the current project setup is not well suited to this.
I did quite some gem updates in d:l:r:e lately and experienced quite some trouble due to dependencies. Thats not a fault of rubygem but comes from the build service not supporting packages in multiple versions.
I'd like to see d:l:r:e:staging for getting all dependencies right after version updates. Then buildservice needs to offer a way to push d:l:r:e:staging to d:l:r:e in an 'atomic' way.
Still there will be people out there relying on specific versions of gems. And I don't see a way to support them without *a lot* of manual effort (and package renames :-/)
the only real solution to having multiple versions of the same gem installed is the approach with suffixes on package names. imho darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+help@opensuse.org
