Ruby developers: help push RPKG development and usage forward! (it is like CPAN.pm, only Ruby)

Notice…pure Ruby…no C…dynamically loading and calling .dlls.

Cool eh?

drool

And it is part of Ruby 1.7.2 (in CVS).

drool again.

However, how does it compare to classic bindings with regard to
performance?

Provided Windows users agree to do some testing and bugfixing
themselves, that is, as I’m not installing it anytime soon. ;->

So, again, don’t worry. Your wishes are already on my todo list.

Compiled .rpk’s can then be redistributed. A maker script can be in
any language and for me rarely has gone beyond a dozen lines of bash
script.
Can we please give a hand to us Windows (l)users and use as much as
possible Ruby itself as a maker script?

You can just install it in another directory and then go to that
directory to start Ruby or just replace your 1.6.7 installation…up to
you.

I have been running 1.7.x for six months on Win32 and Linux. Bugs pop
up now and then, but nothing major (from my perspective).

i think i want to try it now. can i install 1.7.2 along side
1.6.7? or is it stable enough now that i should just dump the
old version? (running debian linux woody by the way)

thanks,

In this case, I volunteer for some crash testing under Windows :slight_smile:

You can go to packages.debian.org and get the .deb for ruby1.7 from
sarge (testing) or sid (unstable).

Hmm, I changed configure.in, but it works for me. Could you give me
more info about “the bug”?

						matz.

on second thought that’s not it b/c you have to run autoconf to get
./configure

hmmm…guess it is a bug in the current snapshot.
