----------------------------------------
Summary: Do not set hard version numbers for gem dependencies
unless absolutely necessary
Key: BUILDR-636
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-636
Project: Buildr
Issue Type: Dependency upgrade
Affects Versions: 1.4.6, 1.4.7
Reporter: Russell Teabeault
I am finding more and more that buildr's gem dependencies are causing conflicts
with my own project's gem requirements. This is typically because the version
in the gemspec is set to a specific version instead of a minimum version.
For example in buildr.gemspec,
spec.add_dependency 'rake', '0.8.7'
probably should be
spec.add_dependency 'rake', '> 0.8.7'
unless there is a good reason that it only works with rake 0.8.7.
