Hi, There's an interesting thread on the Mongrel Users list, where a Debian package manager is asking questions about RubyGem's versioning standards.
Here's my last post which I think summarizes most of it: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2007-January/002694.html Basically, the question is - how do you specify a release candidate version for a version that is post 1.0? Specifically, if people are automatically pulling all the latest version of a gem (">= 1.0.0"), how can they say "I ONLY want stable releases, not alpha versions or release candidates"? Does RubyGems support any version numbering (or version specifications) other than the "[(in)equality operator] x[.y.z]" pattern, where x, y, and z are numeric? If not, is this an unnecessary limitation? What are workarounds? -- Chad _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
