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.
The new packaging scheme will be applied from Ruby-2.1 on forward. It should not affect previous distributions. Otoh, having a single Ruby version will prevent such crazy setups as above in the future ;-) Klaus -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+owner@opensuse.org
