1) Partly. We are in progress of updating them. Since we've added more specs 
and sometimes corrected existing ones this needs to be done with care. The 
current progress is captured here:

https://gist.github.com/1159998

After we are done with this process of bringing the specs up to date we can 
submit a path to RubySpec containing the changed we made. The plan is also to 
make the RubySpec dir a submodule so that merging with RubySpec is easier.

2) Or maybe we should just remove MRI completely? You can always use one on 
your system. I need to check if we need CRuby for anything in the 
infrastructure.

3) Well, that would be a question for RubySpec maintainers. I found some specs 
be failures Windows specific, which means the specs are not properly written. 
Feel free to contribute to RubySpecs git repo - I bet they are happy to accept 
fixes.

4) Well, you need to figure out if the behavior makes sense. If it doesn't feel 
free to file a bug on CRuby and let them decide if the behavior is intentional 
or not. Then CRuby might get fixed, specs might get fixed, or IronRuby might 
get fixed.


Which specs particularly are you working on? Is it marshal related?

I've just run mspec under the Languages\Ruby\Tests\mspec\rubyspec\core folder 
against MRI 1.9.2p0 (which is checked into the ironlanguages-main git repo), 
and it crashes with a segfault in putc_spec.rb

I then tried running against MRI 1.9.2p290 and I get the following:

       1518 files, 9618 examples, 28229 expectations, 339 failures, 256 errors

Running against the dev build of IronRuby stalls running tests in the array 
subfolder, so I can't even complete the run.

I'd like to try fixing some of the spec failures that IronRuby has, but these 
results raise several questions:

1. Are the specs in the mspec\rubyspec folder up to date? How would someone 
find this out and/or update them?
  - Also, I added a few specs the other day for the marshalling code. Do these 
need to somehow get pushed upstream into some "master" rubyspec repository??

2. Shouldn't we check the latest build of MRI into the ironlangauges git-repo? 
Either the latest 1.9.2 or the just-released 1.9.3 instead?

3. Isn't MRI the "definitive" ruby? How can the specs be failing against MRI?

4. If I update some IronRuby code to pass the specs, how do I know that the 
specs are even correct?

Thanks, Orion
