Hi all,
I was thinking about the gem compatibility issue some more. I guess the
first question is whether or not we can ensure that 0.9.4 can handle
gems built with 0.9.5 or later. Can we do that?
If not, what about the possibility of catching this error?
ERROR: While executing gem ... (TypeError)
can't instantiate uninitialized class
If we can catch that error, we could then:
1) Skip that gem and emit a warning indicating that the user should
upgrade or they won't be able to install certain gems.
2) Automatically upgrade the user's version of rubygems (with a warning).
3) Provide the option to upgrade to the latest rubygems. If they say
yes, upgrade rubygems and start again. If no, skip any troublesome gems
and emit a warning.
Thoughts?
Dan
