-----------------------------------------
Summary: Docs: Introduce a Gemfile.lock to avoid dependency range
conflicts
Key: FLINK-5262
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5262
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Maximilian Michels
Assignee: Maximilian Michels
The {{Gemfile}} for specifying the Ruby dependencies of our documentation has
fixed dependency versions to avoid incompatible changes with different versions
of the dependencies. However, Ruby's dependency management allows artifacts to
specify ranges for dependencies. This can be problematic.
For instance, we use 'jekyll' version 2.5.3 which depends on 'jekyll-gist' ~>
1.0 which means 1.0 >= version < 2.0. This may resolve 'jekyll-gist' 1.4.0
which depends on 'octokit' ~> 4.2 which may be 4.2 >= versions < 5.0. Too bad,
'octokit' 4.4. depends on Ruby version >= 2.0 which is not available on our
build servers.
Since we already use the improved version of Rubys build system called
'bundler', we can mitigate this problem by checking in a {{Gemfile.lock}} file
which specifies the exact versions of all dependencies required to build the
docs.
