Not all gems require a development environment to install, so I disagree with any development packages being a dependency. That some gems require a development environment to install is, in my opinion, a flaw with the gem model. Those gems that are ultimately necessary should be natively packaged. The argument over if ruby1.8-dev should be 'suggests' or 'recommends' is still open upstream. -- ruby1.8-dev should be recommended, not suggested https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244742 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
