Category: `gem install` command Group: None Status: Closed 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.

It's really dumb because it's an mkrf, which means rake /must/ be installed. The forced install of rake really isn't required. We also have platform support that'll deal with the windows side of things, so the whole thing really isn't required. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Chelimsky (dchelimsky) Date: 2011-05-26 16:33 Message: I found the source of this: https://github.com/timcharper/spork/blob/master/ext/mkrf_conf.rb Feel free to close. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=575&aid=29229&group_id=126 _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
