I've been trying to writing a lot of dubious cross platform command line tools with ruby lately and have wanted to isolate the detection of various platform specific capabilities (playing audio files, accessing the clipboard, launching a browser) to a gem:
http://github.com/markryall/splat It is by far the most hideous and embarassing gem ever - basically one gigantic case statement. I should have called it the picture of dorian gray. I'd briefly looked at ironruby 1.0 rc2 but couldn't see an easy way to characterise it and haven't got to jruby or linux at all yet. I noticed that someone else has attempted to create something similar with sane (the homepage link from http://rubygems.org/gems/sane is broken so i'm not sure where the source really is). It'd be awesome for the existence of such things to be unnecessary. Mark. On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 9:01 AM, Will Green <w...@hotgazpacho.org> wrote: > Yikes! > > Well, those are all OSS projects.
