According the rubyforge docs, if you try to release a gem of the same
name as a gem already released in a different project, it will just
ignore you (e g not add it to the gem index). So we won't break
anything, but probably won't have any effect. According to Jim
Weirich of the rubygems team, (who conveniently enough happens to be
sitting next to me as I type this), platform name is not counted as
part of the gem name so we would definitely have to have our gem
released as part of the ruby-debug project for it to be seen. So if
we want to go this route we should start talking to the ruby-debug guys.
Also of interest, in the beta release of rubygems, it will take your
platform into account automatically. What this means is that if
someone does "gem install ruby-debug-base" from jruby they will get
the java platform version withouth having to choose it (provide we've
released it so they can see it of course).
Did anyone have any thoughts on my long rambling post on whether and
what to prepackage into JRuby?
I'm somewhat on the fence about preinstalling. Many people may never
want the debugging stuff, but it seems like a good thing to include.
Pre-installing would also let us get 1.0.2 out today with ruby-debug
support built-in while we figure out the release questions. What's the
total size of the gems once installed?
And a question for Martin: would packing ruby-debug and friends into
JRuby make it easier to get into NB 6 final?
Probably the opposite. But just a quick tip, since the whole logic there
is now for ruby-debug to be used as a gem as in RDT/Aptana. It depends
on what exactly "packing into JRuby" means. It would be or behave as
installed gem or somehow built-in?
This is the worst 'timing' from the NB point of view :), since we even
do not know how we are going to release jruby-debug and we are a few day
before high-resistance of NB 6.0 (Peter was too furious :) )
But I suppose it will not be problem to release an NB update whenever we
need.
To close it somehow. I would not care about NetBeans (sounds strange
from my side). Important is to release gem somehow (sooner - better). I
can always adjust the code in NetBeans. I think I will have to do such
changes after high-resistance anyway.
