Is 1.8.2 imminent? And detecting Rubyx version

Andrew_Walrond1 · 6 February 2004 07:58

I’m holding off an ‘official’ release of Rubyx (ruby based linux distro)
because it hits some bugs in 1.8.1 which have been fixed in cvs

I was wondering whether anyone knows when 1.8.2 will be released?

Otherwise, is there a way of detecting a version of ruby, which also covers
dated stable snapshots?

Eg Rubyx needs stable-snapshot-2004-01-14.rar or newer. How can I test for it?

That should have said ‘detecting ruby version’

VERSION is already obsolete and no longer available in 1.9, use
RUBY_VERSION instead.

Thanks! My implementation seems messy though. Can anybody think of how to
clean it up?

Maybe this old posting (Nov 25th 2003) of mine helps:

any better methods of require a specific version/set of versions?

A bit more complicated, but could be included in the std.
distribution…

module Kernel
def ensure_version( ver )
if ( RUBY_VERSION.split(/./).map{|x|x.to_i} <=>
ver.split(/./).map{|x|x.to_i} ) < 0
throw “Version error: should be #{ver} but is #{RUBY_VERSION}”
end
end
end

ensure_version “1.7.0”
ensure_version “1.8.0”
ensure_version “1.8.1”

Kind regards

Hi,

irb(main):001:0> “1.12.3” <=> “1.8.0”
=> -1

Does ruby guarantee never to use two-digit version and release
numbers. If not, your comparison method will fail.

We will never use two digit version. Don’t worry.
