Russell Teabeault updated BUILDR-636:
-------------------------------------
Description:
I am finding more and more that buildr's gem dependencies are causing conflicts
with my own project's gem requirements. This is typically because the version
in the gemspec is set to a specific version instead of a minimum version.
For example in buildr.gemspec,
spec.add_dependency 'rake', '0.8.7'
probably should be
spec.add_dependency 'rake', '>= 0.8.7'
unless there is a good reason that it only works with rake 0.8.7.
