ruby gems just for MacRuby
Hey Guys, I worked on a JSON lib for MacRuby which uses a dynlib. I'm thinking about making it in a gem but it would only be compatible with MacRuby. I feel like we should discuss this as a group and try to come up with a standard way of dealing with this challenge. - Matt
Hey Matt, I think a gem is fine. You can always choose to vendor it when you deploy. (Something which Rucola for instance does.) Taking on the responsibility of a dependency framework is a bit too far away from where the current focus of MacRuby should lie imho. Eloy On 9 mrt 2009, at 22:13, Matt Aimonetti wrote:

I was not thinking about a dependency framework, just a clean way to mark gems are MacRuby only. RubyGems already has something builtin: spec.platform = Gem::Platform::Win32 I'm just not sure what to use for MacRuby and how to deal with this issue cleanly. - Matt On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 2:58 PM, Eloy Duran <eloy.de.enige@gmail.com> wrote:

Ah gotcha. What we could maybe do is add these kind of gems to the MacRuby user that we will create on GitHub in the near future. The gem name would then be prefixed with MacRuby, eg: MacRuby-JSON. It's of course not a real solution like a platform, but it's pretty self-explanatory imo. Eloy On 9 mrt 2009, at 23:06, Matt Aimonetti wrote:
