Hi everybody,
I am wondering if we should mention Bundler in Ruby's
packaging guidelines and what should be recommendations? Or
should we leave it in gray area of guidelines?
Thinking about it again and again, I believe that we should
discourage usage of Bundler in Fedora. What is your opinion?
I really dislike bundler. However, from the Ruby ecosystem
point of view, it's there and it's not going anywhere. It
featured on every rubygem page. It certainly conflicts with
the bundled library viewpoint Fedora has, but without it, many
many applications built upon Ruby won't make it into Fedora.
This is especially true since rpm by design cannot have
multiple versions of the same package installed; whereas gem
can.
So, I hate bundler, and I don't think we should allow it.
We should however, be aware of how that will hinder Fedora as
a ruby development and deployment platform.
