Category: #gem and #require methods Group: v1.3.x Status: Closed Resolution: Rejected Priority: 3 Submitted By: Roger Pack (rogerdpack) Assigned to: Eric Hodel (drbrain) Summary: doesn't allow to differentiate between 1.8 and 1.9 binaries Initial Comment: currently it appears that currently we "can't build one gem targeting 1.8 and one gem targeting 1.9, and have rubygems differentiate the two" http://tenderlovemaking.com/2009/05/07/fat-binary-gems-make-the-rockin-world-go-round/ Thanks! -=r ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Luis Lavena (luislavena) Date: 2009-05-27 19:19 Message: Hi Eric, While modifications to RubyGems implementation are things to talk with precaution, this clearly exposes a limitation to RubyGems itself. Again, this renders required_ruby_version kind of useless, since you are targeting 2 ruby versions with the same gem. Anyhow, working on making rake-compiler more smart on how to deal with multiple versions (which partial work is already on GitHub). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Eric Hodel (drbrain) Date: 2009-05-27 18:20 Message: The URL you've given provides an easy solution to this bug that doesn't involve any changes to RubyGems. I don't see any reason to make any changes to RubyGems to support separate 1.8 and 1.9 gems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Roger Pack (rogerdpack) Date: 2009-05-27 15:22 Message: glad to know works been done toward it. -=r ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luis Lavena (luislavena) Date: 2009-05-27 15:20 Message: This has been discussed here: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rubygems-developers/2009-April/004522.html One suggestion is make smarter servers, but there is a RubyForge and RubyGems limitation, not only RubyGems.
