Really? String#<=> is pretty well-understood as far as I can tell. > For ruby2c, I released 1.0.0 beta 1-5 which I versioned as 1.0.0.1 to > 1.0.0.5. It seemed to work fine for me so far...

If I were to see that version available without reading through all the release announcements, I would have gone ahead and installed it. Any scheme that relies on users being thorough about reading the release notes is suspect in my mind. Also, issuing a gem update ruby2c would have pulled in this version, which is definitely not what users would expect. Did you keep it on a separate server? -Phil _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
