Hi!
Looks like installing hoe (which brings in rubyforge and rake) solved the
problem below.
Who builds the gem / should I report this to / should I send a patch ?
Bye,
Kero.

We got gems, github. Think RPath, fedora spins, debian derivatives. Grab all stuff from rubyforge and publish your own gem-feed. Tweaked to fit your needs. But for that scheme to work, others should not lure us away from your feed with their own, that tweaks other gems. So I guess what you really need is a policy for gems on rubyforge. rubygems looking over some quality and cohesiveness, like (linux) distros check quality and make sure packages work together. The kind of check we''d want to do on polyglot is easy to automate. If it''d be done when creating the gem, as well as on rubyforge before it''s put in the feed, I guess noone can complain.

It''s a breath of fresh air compared to Aslak''s poisonous attitude. I''ve never been unwilling to fix it, but I need to be told what the problem is - not just that there is a problem. Also, I''ve been away from any computer for the last five weeks. Since I don''t (yet) use Cucumber, I hadn''t diagnosed the cause of the problem. If it''s the hoe dependency, it can be fixed. Polyglot requires hoe because it''s built using "newgem". It''s a nuisance, and I''ll be happy to remove it, or make hoe a dev-time dependency only if possible. I''ve contacted Dr Nic to ask how to proceed. In my view, using hoe shouldn''t add a runtime dependency. BTW... why, if polyglot has a hoe dependency, doesn''t hoe get installed when you install cucumber? I''m not saying that the dependency is a good thing, but shouldn''t rubygems install it anyhow? Also, I think I''m the only one likely to publish a new Treetop gem. The forks of Treetop have resulted in no pull requests - they''re just experimental. We have a list of feature requests we''re thinking about, but Treetop is so nice and clean and we don''t want to move forward unless we can keep it that way - we have however recently applied a github patch. I can easily remove Polyglot, but not for the sole reason that someone complains that it causes problems they''re unwilling to describe, diagnose, or help fix. If a complaint comes with a bad attitude, I''ll just continue to ignore it. Clifford Heath.

In my view, using hoe shouldn''t add a runtime dependency.Hm, snippet from long `p spec` (from my prev email): @dependencies=[#<Gem::Dependency:0xb7c922fc @version_requirement=nil, @name="hoe", @version_requirements=#<Gem::Requirement:0xb7c922c0 @version=nil, @requirements=[[">=", #<Gem::Version +"1.8.0">]]>, @type=:runtime>] So your dependency is/was runtime-only, it seems. But the stuff got fixed in the meantime! I''m guessing it''s the rubygems upgrade on my system. $ ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i486-linux] $ gem -v 1.3.2 $ gem list *** LOCAL GEMS *** builder (2.1.2) calibre-semaphore (1.0.0) cucumber (0.3.2) diff-lcs (1.1.2) polyglot (0.2.5) rspec (1.2.6) term-ansicolor (1.0.3) treetop (1.2.5) $ gem dependency polyglot Gem polyglot-0.2.5 hoe (>= 1.8.0, development) <= not runtime anymore! same 0.2.5 polyglot gem! $ cucumber 0 scenarios () 0 steps () $ Bye, Kero. ___ How can I change the world if I can''t even change myself? -- Faithless, Salva Mea
