Category: None Group: None Status: Open >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 3 Submitted By: Roger Pack (rogerdpack) Assigned to: John Barnette (jbarnette) Summary: gem install --development installs transitive development dependencies Initial Comment: Currently it appears that if you install a gem with --development, it installs not only its development dependencies, and also its development dependencies' development dependencies (not just runtime). This results in a failure, for example not being able to use $ jruby -S gem install sensible-cinema --development because though all of its development dependencies are jruby friendly, their respective development dependencies are not, and it ends up trying to build binary extensions which don't work, since this is C, but they are for gems that aren't actual development dependencies for sensible-cinema, so I don't need them anyway. This prevents --development from being useful in this situation. Suggestion: only install development dependencies' run-time dependencies if --development is passed. Thanks. -r ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=575&aid=28454&group_id=126 _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
