Hi, I think we should do it sooner than 2.2, so ASAP, but I don't know what the timeline is for 2.1. There are several reasons for that:
1. Remove a potential barrier to entry for contributors. A lot of the errors I was getting were due to the fact that some things on my system were too new (GCC 4.6, for example) and so the older versions of things that were specified in the environment files wouldn't install because their native extensions wouldn't compile. With bundler, we can pick up new enough versions of gems so that they'll work but they're still compatible with some of the older gems we need because we're still a Rails 2 app. I couldn't run the cucumber test suite at all until I finished this work. 2. Provides a consistent environment to use with development, testing, and deployment w/o having to go through "rake gems:install" multiple times for each environment. The gems in the Gemfile are grouped, so for a production only build, you can tell the bundle command to exclude certain groups to get a minimum amount of gems. 3. One step closer towards being on Rails 3. Bundler is baked in and used by default. This is only a nice side effect due to the fact that I looked at the roadmap in Assembla and saw Rails 3 on there. 4. Somebody's done the work, why not merge it? :) Thanks, Matt On Mon, Aug 22, 2011 at 2:47 AM, Reinier Balt <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry, didn't see it :-) > > I'd like to move to bundler for 2.2.
