I don't see what this has to do with RubyGems. Can you move such
conflicts
to a more appropriate place?
This bug is related to Rubygems. Ryan introduced Hoe to Rubygems,
which broke the CI build by adding unspecified dependencies. I let
him know, and he ignored it. So, I fixed it mysqlf by adding
automated dependency installation. You reverted that (working)
change, and replaced it with a call to Hoe's dependency installation
mechanism (which did NOT work).
WFM:
$ rake check_extra_deps
(in /Users/drbrain/Work/svn/rubygems/trunk)
sudo gem install builder --version '~> 2.1'
Successfully installed builder-2.1.2
1 gem installed
[RDoc]
$ gem list hoe$
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
hoe (2.3.3)
$
This illustrates the often rude and dictatorial tone (and now,
immature and persistent sexual references) on this list, and refusal
to respond to valid technical criticism of questionable code and
policies. Perhaps others tolerate this sort of behavior on a public
development list, but I'd rather not. I believe ignoring it
encourages more of the same, so I will keep pointing it out.
I don't get paid to work on RubyGems. I've never been paid to work on
RubyGems. I believe I may have gotten a beer or two in relation to my
work on RubyGems, but to my recollection never was any beer expressly
stated to be in payment for my RubyGems work.
If I'm rude or dictatorial, sorry, I'm not paid to be nice.
I'd like to have RubyGems be of the highest possible quality, and
sometimes technical problems are intertwined with usability, backwards
compatibility, etc. Sometimes I just don't get around to it or forget
about it because RubyGems isn't my day job.
Again, I have the utmost respect for your incredible and critical
contributions to this project, but there's more to an open source
project than code.
There's more to it than technical merit and unfailing niceness too.
