Answering my own question about x86==i386, they are treated as equal:
>>> Gem::Platform.new("i386-mingw32") === Gem::Platform.new("x86-mingw32")
true
http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/rubygems-update/Gem/Platform.html has
implementations of the different functions (click on the function names)

Does anyone know if this will allow authoring of IronRuby-specific gems? Would
the same value be used in the gemspec?
After installing win32console, I looked at
gems\1.8\gems\specifications\win32console-1.2.0-x86-mingw32.gemspec, and it had
this line:
s.platform = %q{x86-mingw32}
Note that this is different than the value of RbConfig::CONFIG[“arch”] in MRI,
which is "i386-mingw32". So not sure how exactly this works. Perhaps RubyGems
has a special case for x86==i386?

I will set RUBY_PLATFORM to “.net” and RbConfig::CONFIG[“arch”] to
“universal-.net-2.0” (or “universal-.net-4.0” for the .NET 4 builds)

we need to update rbconfig. it should also detect the runtime correctly

Ruby Gems maintains a list of platform mappings.
See lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\rubygems\platform.rb in the initialize method.
Whatever initializes Gem::Platform seems to look at RUBY_PLATFORM

It does seem like there isn’t a way to distinguish between IronRuby and MRI.

That all depends on how Gem checks the platform. If it uses the RUBY_PLATFORM
variable, then IronRuby needs to change what it reports here. Currently, it
reports i386-mswin32.

I believe JRuby is doing the 1st one, which makes sense in my opinion. If
possible we should prefer platform == “ironruby”, (or .net, do we need to

Subject: [Ironruby-core] IronRuby version of existing gems
This brings a question to mind - what should the general approach be for
porting existing gems to IronRuby? There could be two possible approaches:
1. Create a gem with the same name (“win32console” in this case), and
specify platform==”ironruby”. That way, dependent gems do not need to be
updated, and users have to remember just one name. IronRuby will use the
version with platform==”ironruby”, and MRI will use the one with
platform==”mswin32”. So there should not be any clashes even if you use MRI and
IronRuby on the same machine.
2. Create a new gem like iron-term-ansicolor.
Any pro or cons to the two? What should the recommendation be in general?

I released iron-term-ansicolor 0.0.3 last night after testing the gem install
locally first.
Please let me know if you still have trouble installing it from Rubygems.org.
Also, I've submitted a patch to RSpec to use iron-term-ansicolor if it can, the
same way it tries to use win32console under MRI.
