RubyConf 2004

A couple of hours, I believe. The conference will be very very close
to Dulles airport (Attention non-US Rubyists…convenient travel
opportunity!)

conference.

Tentatively October 1-3 in Washington DC/Northern VA.
Alright! Party at my house!

Question – how far is that from Richmond?

Nope; that was 8 1/2 years ago. This is the wedding of my wife’s friend
of 25 years. He’s also her current boss and my former boss.

Drat. The first RubyConf in my part of the world, and I can’t go. It
would only be a five hour drive, but I have to go to a wedding that
Saturday. I really don’t want to attend, but I have to.

Uhmm, that wouldn’t be your wedding, would it?

No, its name is not going to be Rite.

Maybe not, but you’ll be getting an awful lot of change requests.

Hi,

Tentatively October 1-3 in Washington DC/Northern VA.

Bad news is this would be a first conference without me.
Good news is that we are expecting our baby on October.

Congratulations!

congrats matz.

No, its name is not going to be Rite.

How about Pearl? hee hee…

If not rite, then what is the future name?

The Ruby Installer 1.8.1-12 for Windows has been released and is now
available for download from:

http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/

The previous release (1.8.1-11) had some anomalous behavior as part of the
build was inadvertently done with cygwin. This release is a 100% native
Windows build, done entirely without cygwin.

Starting with this release, we have officially moved the Ruby Installer
project from SourceForge to RubyForge. Please report bugs (or request
features) at:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=167

What is the Ruby Installer for Windows?

···

The Ruby Installer for Windows is a “one-click”, self-contained Windows
installer that contains the Ruby language itself, dozens of popular
extensions and packages, a syntax-highlighting editor and execution
environment, and a Windows help file that contains the full text of the
book, “Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer’s Guide”.

Change Log for 1.8.1-12

  • Eradicated all uses of cygwin
  • Now using the version of REXML that is distributed
    with Ruby.
  • Upgraded SciTE to version 1.59, which includes support
    for YAML highlighting and Tools menu commands for Ruby
    syntax checking, code profiling, and irb.

Enjoy!

International travelers might get a better price if they flew in to
BWI, took the bus to the metro, then rode to DC. BWI seems to handle a
lot of international traffic.

Just a thing: I notice that the another version of scite that I own

Some feedback: rdoc and ri still don’t work out of the box:

C:\Ruby\bin>rdoc --version
c:\Ruby\bin\ruby.exe: No such file or directory – c:/Ruby/bin/rdoc.rb
(LoadErro
r)

C:\Ruby\bin>ri --version
The system cannot find the drive specified.

C:\Ruby\bin>

bin/rdoc needs to be renamed rdoc.rb.
bin/ri needs to be renamed ri.rb.

The paths at the top of ri.bat are still wrong:

E:\Dev\RubyDev\rubyinstaller\cvs-repo\installer\stable\bin\ruby -x
"E:\Dev\RubyDev\rubyinstaller\cvs-repo\installer\stable/bin/ri.bat" %1 %2 %3
%4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

After I fixed the above I tried running:

C:\Ruby\bin>ri 'Array.[]'
No ri documentation found in:
C:/Ruby/share/ri/1.8/system
C:/Ruby/share/ri/1.8/site
c:\dev/.rdoc

Was rdoc run to create documentation?

C:\Ruby\bin>

So I ran `rdoc -R’ in C:/Ruby. Finally, after several minutes rdoc dies with
the following message:

                 proxyserver.rb: mmm..c...c...c..

As has been reported on the website, ri.bat is still broken, rdoc.bat is
still broken, rbtest.bat is still broken, and even after fixing all
these and running rdoc -f ri, ri is still broken.

At least “ri” and “rdoc” is not working fine with any installer. Here the
source code is broken. There are a few reports about this on the Ruby
Doc mailing lists, but no fix.

It works if you delete the .bat’s and run rdoc -f ri in the correct
directory. Istalling the latest version broke ri for me until I
remembered to remove the bat :slight_smile:

… and
buffers=10

sorry, I’m too dumb sometimes :frowning:

Could you please send me copies of the SciTE property files that you
modified? I would like us to consider including these changes in the next
release of the Ruby Installer.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reports and workaround. I’ll make sure all this info gets
logged in the bug report. I’m surprised the bad paths are still in the bat
files – I could have sworn that I fixed that! :frowning:

Well you can’t just remove the *.bat files. You have to rename
the corresponding files *.rb, too.

I’ll try.

Nope. It still faw down go boom!

Fwiw, today’s CVS HEAD otoh seems to work fine (on FreeBSD). So hopefully
when 1.8.2 comes out and the Windows installer is updated, ri will work, joy
