Hi,
well, acctually it depends on libgems-ruby1.8 . Do you consider this to be the same as depend on rubygems? Also, I don't know if it will be easy to remove this dependency because mongrel plugin system (libgemplugin-ruby) uses some functions of libgems-ruby1.8. I'n not sure at the moment, but AFAIK only libgemplugin-ruby call methods from libgems-ruby1.8, so maybe this dependency could be dropped from mongrel, but it is needed in libgemplugin-ruby. Otherwise, a plugin library for rubygems without rubygems support would be funny :D filipe On Wed, 17 Oct 2007, Lucas Nussbaum wrote:
Package: mongrel Version: 1.0.1-1 Severity: serious Hi, From what I remember from our rubygems discussions, the conclusion was that the rubygems package was here for users to install packages, not for other packages to use it. [0] [0] http://pkg-ruby-extras.alioth.debian.org/rubygems.html That's why several packages apply patches during build, so they don't need rubygems anymore. However, it's not the case of mongrel: it depends on rubygems. Should we fix mongrel, or change our position on rubygems? -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F |
