Ping, no comments from anyone?
For the short/immediate term I highly recommend that we go with allowing the bundling of gems in applications.
This ruby community is great in exchanging ideas :)
Greetings, Stephan
Well, what you ideas you expect? For me it is reinventing wheel. It is exactly same for me like discussion if we should link libraries statically or dynamic. I see there same pros&cons. And question is if we want user to get bundled apps from us ( some appliacation is so complex, fragile, that any dependency change can break it ) or if he should download it outside of distribution ( like we do now with bundled libraries, e.b. games from humble bumble, that often contain static libraries ).
I see there only small difference, that more ruby library authors ignore backward compatibilty ( just my observation ), but it is not bug difference.
So what we should discuss? It is clear decision what we want distribute.
OK, replace ideas with opinions in my statement. I read your mail as "if applications are as fragile as requiring bundled gems, do not distribute it" btw.
