I just had the following IRC (#rubinius) exchange with Brian Ford: Rich_Morin: brixen: From your talk at RC08, I get the impression that the handling of 1.9 specs may be in flux (eg, folded into the main tree). Can you give me a precis to report back to the MacRuby list? brixen: Rich_Morin: http://rubyspec.org/wiki/rubyspec/Specs-19 Rich_Morin: just need some more folks working on it This page lays out the general approach that any rearrangement will follow. In brief, however, there's no need to wait... My guess is that there will eventually be lots of folks adding specs for 1.9, but that most of the projects are still focused on getting full 1.8 compatibility and/or waiting on MRI 1.9 to be released. So, MacRuby could well be out in front. Obviously, there will need to bs some specs dealing with MR's handling of "keyed arguments": http://www.macruby.org/trac/wiki/HowDoesMacRubyWork#KeyedArguments Also, I suspect that some specs rely on: * the ancestry of core Ruby classes (eg, String) * the methods available to core Ruby classes What other areas will need MR-specific specs? -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Technical editing and writing, programming, and web development _______________________________________________ MacRuby-devel mailing list MacRuby-devel@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel
