PBI: add a tags field to the RubyGems metadata

PBI: add a tags field to the RubyGems metadata

This Partly-Baked Idea has the goal of making it easier for
folks to find gems, whether by looking over a list of tags
or by looking for gems with similar sets of tags.

Dunno if this has been discussed before.  If so, a pointer
to the thread would be appreciated.  Otherwise, I'd like a
bit of feedback on the idea.

"Federating" rubygems.org

Evan Phoenix — 2012-01-18T17:49:24

While thinking about the gem size and dependency naming issues last night, I had a thought for a feature. 

What if the following were possible:

  gem push --custom-url http://phx.io/gems/gx-1.0.0.gem gx-1.0.0.gem

This would, rather than uploading the gx gem to rubygems.org, it would upload just the spec and set a "url" field that the user has specified. When the gem is requested for download, we'd redirect to that custom url.

This allows rubygems.org to be a sort of head-in or primary federation server for gems. 99% of people will just push their gem like normal, but for the people that have very large gems that no longer fit within our size limit, they can simply host the gem file themselves. This provides a best case scenario where users can continue to simply install a gem like normal, but the costs of hosting the large gems is offset by the creator.

I was worried about security slightly, since the file at the url could be replaced with different code after the fact. But this is not dissimilar from s

Rails Takes Ten Seconds (!)

Alex Chaffee — 2012-01-17T23:36:54

I'm teaching a class right now and I have a room full of students.
Half of them are on Macs and the other half are on Windows and used
RailsInstaller (latest version, downloaded this morning) to install on
fresh systems. Whenever the Windows users type any rails command from
the terminal -- including "rails -v" -- there is a 10 second delay
before anything starts happening. Same with "gem -v" (though some
students say "gem -v" takes 3-4 seconds), though "ruby -v" returns
immediately.

The Mac users, of couse, are experiencing no such delays; the Windows
users are learning that Ruby is slow :-)

Is this a known issue? Is there anything we can do about it? It is
*seriously* impeding flow.

We are using rails 3.1.1 and gem 1.7.2 which are the versions
Railsinstaller installed.

If we hit control-C during the pause we get a stack trace somewhere
inside the gem require library, e.g. custom_require.rb:36 (which calls
gem_original_require). Could rubygems be hitting the network or timing
out for some reason?

Gem file size limits

Evan Phoenix — 2012-01-17T23:10:32

I believe that rubygems.org needs to limit the max size of a .gem file which will be allowed.

This serves two purposes:  
1) It protects users from themselves. The top 19 of 20 gems sorted by size are all huge because they accidentally packaged all previous versions within themselves. This issue needs to be fixed on the gem build side also, but there is no reason to allow these gems.
2) Cost. Rubygems.org is becoming increasingly expensive to run and thus we need to begin thinking of ways to keep it mean and lean.

I think we can all agree that some kind of limit makes sense. At the moment, there is nothing from preventing a user from using rubygems.org as their personal backup and pushing terabytes in a .gem file. Clearly we can't operate if people do that.

So the natural question I have for all of you is: what makes sense as the size limit? To help you with this decision, here is some data for you to chew on:

1) The top 1000 gems, sorted by size: https://gist.github.com/1629309 
2) A histogram of gem si

Summary: unable to resolve transitive dependencies?

Initial Comment:
Appears that if you have a gem on github which depends on gems from rubyforge, which gems from rubyforge also have dependencies on gems from rubyforge, the install fails.

Ex: (a fresh install of ruby)
$ gem install rogerdpack-desc_method -v0.1.5

ERROR: Error installing rogerdpack-desc_method:
ruby2ruby requires ruby_parser (~> 2.0, runtime)

Thanks.

A failure that escapes my comprehension

Luis Lavena — 2012-01-12T00:55:01

In master, I've the following failure:

 12) Failure:
test_check_executable_overwrite_default_bin_dir(TestGemInstaller)
[C:/Users/Luis/Projects/oss/rubygems/rubygems/test/rubygems/test_gem_installer.rb:149]:

+"\"executable\" from a conflicts with installed executable from conflict"

The error message comes from Gem::Installer#check_executable_overwrite

What I don't understand is why is triggering a ruby_executable
(conflict = "installed executable...")

PS: some single quotes will make more easy to spot what is the message
and what represents an executable or a gem. Gem named "a" confuses in
the generated language for non-english native speakers (at least it
does for me)

Dealing with JRuby and jars

Charles Oliver Nutter — 2012-01-09T18:59:20

Ok, we need to figure out a solution here :)

Here's the deal:

JRuby users are using JVM libraries. That's obviously a big selling
point of JRuby. They're also living in the Ruby world, and use
RubyGems, Bundler, etc. They don't want to have to manage dependencies
multiple ways.

Ruby world revolves around RubyGems and Bundler. Java world revolves
around Maven. We want to integrate the two for JRuby users in a way
that RubyGems, RubyGems.org, and Bundler folks can accept.

JRuby currently supports installing jars from Maven at the "gem"
command line, but that's the only place it works. RubyGems.org does
not allow us to push gems with maven dependencies, and Bundler does
not recognize maven dependencies.

What we need:

* A way for RubyGems to understand Maven artifacts and dependency
graphs and fetch them. We have that at the command line, but it's via
our own patches.

* A way for RubyGems.org to allow gems that have Maven dependencies.
The alternatives to this are pushing gems that *just* wrap a jar file

Hey guys,

Don't want to be a PITA but since RubyGems 1.8.10 there has been no
announcement to this list of any of the releases: 1.8.11 - 1.8.15
(which happen yesterday)

Is not easy to point users when they encounter a problem to upgrade
RubyGems because this was fixed (because there is no announcement that
states something was fixed)

I understand that we are all busy, but since RubyGems uses Hoe,
sending the email shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you for your time.

Dropping Ruby 1.8.x support for 2.0?

Luis Lavena — 2011-12-20T00:25:31

Hello guys,

While working on my TODO notes found that we have a couple of things
(like checks for tty?) that were broken in 1.8.7 but are fixed in
1.9.3.

Shall we consider EOL for Ruby 1.8.7 in RubyGems?

/me wants a smaller and cleaner codebase, so was wondering your thoughts?

Thank you.
