@_solnic_ the last remaining unsolved problem for rubygems UX are C extensions. If anyone could `gem install your_app` and run it without worrying about a C compiler or ruby.h or libsqlite3, that would be awesome.

@eregontp @_jardo_ @tenderlove @schneems @flavorjones So permission denied if you run `gem install rails` but the ruby's gem dir isn't writable? I really hope rubygems makes --user-install the default behavior, or something similar, but that issue is still open. Also, there's still gem sharing issues with Gem.user_dir.

Benoit Daloze @eregontp

Reported 2021-06-05 16:51:41

@postmodern_mod3 @_jardo_ @tenderlove @schneems @flavorjones The default behavior of RubyGems, rbenv has the same behavior for gem paths (just use RubyGems defaults): https://t.co/TerZ1oRCrs

Benoit Daloze @eregontp

Reported 2021-06-05 14:36:29

@tenderlove @_jardo_ @schneems @flavorjones One drawback is if that Ruby prefix is not user-writable then one would need to use `gem install --user-install` or `bundle config path`. It's the same for rbenv, and it seems a non-issue in practice. That should probably be solved in RubyGems anyway (https://t.co/qJcVBWDehf)

Benoit Daloze @eregontp

Reported 2021-06-05 08:46:17

@postmodern_mod3 It is clearly and objectively a chruby 0.3.9 bug to interpret RUBY_VERSION as ABI version. Please don't pretend it's something's else bug if chruby sets incorrect values. Yes, RubyGems could do better but it's irrelevant to fix this bug.

postmodern @postmodern_mod3

Reported 2021-06-05 08:03:46

@eregontp OK, that seems like something we could fix in RubyGems, instead of working around it via chruby. It should be possible to add that extensions/.../.../.../ dir that contains the .so/dylib to $LOAD_PATH, instead of copying the .so/dylib back into lib/.

postmodern @postmodern_mod3

Reported 2021-06-05 07:22:40

@eregontp I also find it unfortunate. However, the SEGV in question was caused by an ABI breakage between two different versions of TruffleRuby and RubyGems not isolating the built C extensions. The PR which you submitted to fix this changed functionality, so it got slated for 1.0.0.

postmodern @postmodern_mod3

Reported 2021-06-05 07:14:41

@eregontp It was the one rubygems issue where you kept pointing out if two rubies of the same version but different ./configuration options tried to load a C extension, then theoretically ABI issues might arise. Also, if you're installing dev code, then your safety is in your own hands.

Benoit Daloze @eregontp

Reported 2021-06-05 06:42:42

@postmodern_mod3 > a design flaw in RubyGems. It might well be. The problem is corner cases like e.g., having a `ruby-dev` Ruby which one later reinstalls with a newer commit, CRuby never changes the master ABI version but might change the ABI. --enable-shared vs not is another case.

postmodern @postmodern_mod3

Reported 2021-06-05 05:55:22

@eregontp That issue is also still open. So is this one https://t.co/xkx0HuIkAS I'd really like to see the RubyGems define consistent behavior for how different types of gems are handled (stdlib gems, global gems, user gems). This would give ruby switchers clear guidelines to work within.

postmodern @postmodern_mod3

Reported 2021-06-04 20:44:55

@eregontp Also the rubygems issue you said you got consensus on is _still_ open. The maintainers still have not clarified whether the --user-install directory is designed to support gems installed from multiple rubies, or a single ruby. https://t.co/CIqEhWE6UM

@searls IMO the biggest hurdle is none of this, it is that rubygems has no support for optional dependencies. Without them you are still forced to keep dependencies you don't need in your Gemfile or have to go down this rabbit hole. https://t.co/yK3sjdLZZk

Broken CI two days in a row because a dependency of Rails was yanked from rubygems, then it was fixed, requiring everyone to update, then the fixed one was yanked, requiring all to update again. At least now no one can complain about the laissez faire model of node_modules again.
