Hello,
A particular project I'm working on need to compile and store certain
files. Since these files are very version specific of the gem, I
thought about using datadir.
But, using RbConfig.datadir produces the following warning:
irb(main):003:0> RbConfig.datadir("exerb")
rbconfig/datadir.rb and {Rb}Config.datadir is being deprecated from
RubyGems. It will be removed completely on or after June 2011. If you
wish to rely on a datadir, please use Gem.datadir.
=> "C:/Users/Luis/Tools/Ruby/ruby-1.8.7-p334-i386-mingw32/share/exerb"
And the path to "share" inside the installation of Ruby.
However, usage of Gem.datadir produces something different:
irb(main):005:0> gem "exerb"
irb(main):005:0> Gem.datadir("exerb")
=>
"C:/Users/Luis/.gem/ruby/x86-mingw32/1.8/gems/exerb-5.0.0-x86-mingw32/data/exerb"
And I'm kinda confused... why the double directory? (exerb-version and
again data/exerb)?
Saying that just "data" seems enough to me.
Then, seeing a comment on this line:
https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/blob/master/lib/rubygems.rb#L380
# TODO: deprecate
Is not very inspiring...
Is this required? anyone else using this that can provide further comments?
Thank you.
