Depency on newest rubygems (1.3.6)
Reported by Skade | April 28th, 2010 @ 01:52 PM
The i18n gemspec requires rubygems 1.3.6. I cannot see the necessity for this.
Depending on 1.3.6 means that every other project using i18n (for example padrino) also has to depend on 1.3.6, which is a fairly recent release, prompting everyone to upgrade. Even JRuby, which usually ships with a relatively new gem package (1.3.5) has to be upgraded, not to speak of all the poor Ubuntu users ;).
If there is no hard reason for this, could this dependency be removed?
Thank you,
Florian Gilcher

I see that with the https://github.com/svenfuchs/i18n/commit/6c378c7326654a4b2f8a6f349a... commit rubygems requirement was lowered to 1.3.5. Earlier it was bumped from 1.3.5 to 1.3.6 with this commit: https://github.com/svenfuchs/i18n/commit/41ee0dba516c1c0167e9109174... and originaly it was bumped from 1.3.1 to 1.3.5 with this commit: https://github.com/svenfuchs/i18n/commit/403ae5ce7a176d1e8597f1724d...
And my question is if 1.3.5 is really requirement (given the original bump straight from 1.3.1 to 1.3.5). I ask this because we use debian lenny (with lenny-backports) without root access where rubygems is at 1.3.4 version. I cannot update rubygems with update_rubygems (no root) and I would like to avoid installing from tgz into home directory. Maybe rubygems 1.3.4 also will be sufficient?
