Category: `gem install` command Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: David Chelimsky (dchelimsky) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: 'gem install spork' installs rake 0.9.0 even though it is not a dependency Initial Comment: Per the session listed below, installing the spork 0.8.4 gem results in rake 0.9.0 being installed as well, even though there doesn't appear to be any dependency on rake within spork. I've tried reproducing this with other gems, some that have native extensions (like spork) and some that don't, and this is the only gem I could find that is doing this. I also tried this with other rubies and rubygems versions with the same result. I'll put together a list and add it to this ticket. ################################################# $ gem -v 1.8.4 $ ruby -v ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision 29036) [x86_64-darwin10.4.0] $ gem list *** LOCAL GEMS *** [bundlertest]$ gem install spork Fetching: spork-0.8.4.gem (100%) Building native extensions.
