Category: documentation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: David Miani (nanothief) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Had > instead of ~> in docs for specifying a pessimist Initial Comment: While reading chapter 5 of the user guide (http://rubygems.org/read/chapter/16), in the section about PessimisticVersionContraints, I came across this: ----- ...Doing this is cumbersome, so RubyGems provides a pessimistic operator ~~> (read: approximately greater than). Using the pessimistic operator, we get: gem 'library', '> 2.2' ----- The pessimistic operators is first said to be '~~>', but the example uses '>'. From trying these examples in irb, I think both are wrong, and the correct operator is '~>'. So I think the section should read: ----- ...Doing this is cumbersome, so RubyGems provides a pessimistic operator ~> (read: approximately greater than). Using the pessimistic operator, we get: gem 'library', '~> 2.2' ----- Also there is a minor formatting problem, the text "(read: approximately greater than). Using the pessimistic operator, we get:" uses the coding style instead of the normal style. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nick Hildebrant (nihildeb) Date: 2009-08-27 00:18 Message: Documentation corrected. Formatting issue is a problem in the textile rendering. ~something~ would make something subscript. Textile does include escaping (\) but it doesn't seem to be implemented in this implementation, and then even it is for a whole text block, so it would not be possible to use on a code section. recommend close ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=575&aid=25998&group_id=126 _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
