I've talked about it to you on RubyConf Brazil 2010, but I'll point the

Please, ask me if you have any questions.
Ahh yes, I remember now :)
We have stalled on the jline issue largely because it has been forked
to death (dozens of incompatible forks) and we don't want to own it.
Your patches may fix problems, and it's likely there are other jline
forks that would also fix those problems, but we haven't been able to
sort out whether there's even a canonical jline repository anymore.
What might be more useful than trying to fix jline would be checking
to see if alternatives like readline-ffi or rb-readline work correctly
on all platforms:
https://github.com/koichiro/readline-ffi
https://github.com/luislavena/rb-readline
I know it's frustrating to have jline still not working properly for
some users, but I'm honestly not sure of the best way to proceed with
jline fixes anymore :(
I'll take a look at these pointers but I won't be able to tell it if it
will work on all platforms. But I doubt we can do that before 1.6 final
release. At the same time, I don't think that applying these small
trivial patches to the last source from which you've built jline the
last time would be of any harmful. On the other side, it will show some
respect to the Linux users. It is really very very frustrating to type
"del" and see it deleting backward.
This doesn't bother the happy Mac users because, well, they just don't
have this problem. I didn't test on Windows, so I can't know their user
experience. But this is a user experience killer on Linux for sure.
What I'm asking is not a great enhancement over jline/readline, but only
a really small correction that will only affect Linux users and that
will make a big difference to the user experience.
Also, I don't think the Linux users represent "some users" but "lots of
users".
Best regards,
Rodrigo.
