He suggests we use the version numbering built into rubygems already to deal with this. For instance, if we change ruby-debug and ruby-debug-ide to both depend on "> 0.9" of ruby-debug-base instead of "= 0.9.3", than we would be able to release any time we want and just bump the minor version number. Of course, this all still requires us to work with the ruby-debug guys. We need to do that regardless, and if that doesn't work we'll be forced to just maintain separate j.* versions of all the debug gems anyways. BTW, Jim says he will be at rubyconf this weekend if anyone wants to get together to speak with him about the best way to solve gem versioning/platform issues for jruby. I'm ccing him on this. --Chris > m. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from this list please visit: > > http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email > >
