What are other rpm distributions going to do about this? Is this already discussed with them?
I am already seeing in Fedora stuff that differes from our packages (ie: provides like rubygem(rspec) )
I'm almost sure that Fedora guys do not care about installing (and providing rubygems for) ruby 1.8 and 1.9 in parallel. I would suggest going the same way, but knowing that we don't have enough manpower to maintain two different sets of packages for openSUSE and SLE I won't.
this question is like the first thing we discussed in the meeting about the topic. and the answer was simple "studio team wants to go with 1.9 on sles. so our only option is to solve the problem of having both working at the same time". just ugprading ruby to 1.9 on sle11 sp3 is not an option. another thing you have to keep in mind: if we find a nice generic solution, we can apply the same solution to python 2 and 3. perl5 and perl6 at some point. even with lua we would need it aswell. so while atm it seems quite a bit of effort to do all the ground work it will pay back later with the other languages. and i wouldnt be too sure that fedora/rhel isnt interesting in 1.9 and 1.8 in parallel. but so far i havent contacted them because we wanted to iron out some of issues and have a proof of concept working. 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
