Hi,
going forward, Ruby becomes more important in the openSUSE and SLES codebase. This is why Coolo asked me to come up with a new Ruby packaging scheme. Read on to learn about my current thinking in this regard.
What are the goals ?
1. revert the ruby, rubyXY, and ruby-common split
Initially done to allow multiple Ruby versions in parallel, it wasn't really used and developers use rvm or rbenv to achieve the same effect. From a buildservice perspective, this split cause more headaches than it provided value.
in studio product we have ruby 1.8 and ruby 1.9 at the same time because the first one is a requirement from WebYast and the second one from studio itself. I am not saying this is good or desirable, but please take in mind this kind of situation.
Mucho agreed. I strongly vote for keeping parallel-installability. For several products (like Cloud) this is a must-have. And it's already present in openSUSE (and thus SLE12).
2. Ruby will be part of inst-sys (for YaST)
Another good reason why you want parallel installs. ATM ruby-2.1 is fresh like cheese. But this version on SLE_X. Let 6 years pass and take one of our Ruby- based products. It will likely use ruby-42 by then. You can't drop ruby21 because of yast but you need ruby42 because of $PRODUCT...
For this to work you also need to make the gems parallel installable - do you want to work on that? Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+owner@opensuse.org
