A long time ago we (at twitter) started publishing a thrift fork (http://github.com/fauna/thrift-rb) for the ruby gem (https://rubygems.org/gems/thrift). I'd like to bring this back to the mainline.
That fork had some patches to address some problems (http://github.com/fauna/thrift-rb/commits/master). I think all of these but jruby have been addressed now. If we can address those, it seems like we can move the gem release process in line with releasing the rest of the artifacts (I assume other languages build packages). Does this seem like a good idea? -ryan
