First shot at fixing the dependency situation. Basically, .gemspec is now a
self contained with everything you need to actually run deltacloud (including
the cloud provider gems). Gemfile now includes the gemspec, and adds the
dependencies for developers. I like the division: .gemspec is 'runtime' and
Gemfile is 'development'.
I ran into some issues with versions. The actual problem is that I'm on ruby
1.8.6. It seems more and more things are dropping 1.8.6 support either
explicitly or just cos not many people are using it any more? (question, not
statement). This may be a seperate discussion but the question is: 'are we
still supporting 1.8.6?'. If we are, then the version constraints (explained
below) are relevant. If we aren't then I will revisit the versioning and then
we need to explicate the use of ruby 1.8.7 in the .gemspec and documentation
(currently gemspec says '1.8.1'...).
* s.add_dependency('nokogiri', '>= 1.4.3', '< 1.5.0')
===> BECAUSE:
Installing nokogiri (1.5.0)
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/installer.rb:164:in `install': nokogiri
requires Ruby version >= 1.8.7. (Gem::InstallError)
* s.add_dependency('rack', '>= 1.0.0', '< 1.2.1')
===> BECAUSE:
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rack-1.2.1/lib/rack/utils.rb:138:in `union': can't
convert Array into String (TypeError)
https://github.com/rack/rack/issues/34
* I added this to the Gemfile: gem "linecache", ">= 0.3", "< 0.46"
===> BECAUSE:
of this wonder: https://gist.github.com/1034765
*gem "rspec", "< 1.3.1"
===> because rspec has/is dropping support for 1.8.6 altogether
