This is very awesome Josef! Thanks!
I opened two issues but so far, the gem is really useful. Note: I didn't have the bundler issue that Vit is reporting. I'm running from MRI 2.1.2 on OSX via chruby. https://github.com/strzibny/gem-compare/issues/4 https://github.com/strzibny/gem-compare/issues/5 ----- Original Message ----- > Hi all, > > I would like to announce the first release of the gem-compare[0] plugin, > a tool made to simplified the process of updating gems in Fedora. > > Instead of manually fetching and unpacking new gem releases, comparing > their dependencies, and using grep and diff tools to check the differences > between the releases I decided to automate this process as much as I can. > > The result was a script that I decided to turn into a RubyGems plugin for > clarity and ease of use. The main purpose of the tool is to report > the differences between: > > * gemspec parameters such as license, authors, homepage, ... > * runtime and development dependencies > * Gemfile dependencies > * files including shebangs and permissions modifications > > The usage is as follows: > $ gem compare rails 3.0.0 4.0.0 -k > > I usually run it in the git directory of the associated Fedora package so > it downloads the missing new version, unpacks both, run the comparison and > print the results. I then can go straight to editing the .spec file and > update what is necessary. > > However, you can use the tool in many other ways, e.g. running: > $ gem compare rails '>=3.0.0' --runtime > > will reveal that activeresource dependency was dropped in 4.0.0 and > actionview dependency was added in 4.1.0. > > Please see more examples at GitHub[0] and all valid options with: > $ gem compare --help > > To install it, simply run: > > $ gem install gem-compare > > Once it's more tested and bugs[1] are resolved I will package it for Fedora. > I didn't package it yet because it needs one dependency that is not yet in > Fedora repositories. > > I would like to kindly ask you to help me to test it and tell me what you > think. > > Best Regards > Josef > > > [0] https://github.com/strzibny/gem-compare > [1] https://github.com/strzibny/gem-compare/issues > _______________________________________________ > ruby-sig mailing list > [email protected] > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/ruby-sig -- Joe Rafaniello _______________________________________________ ruby-sig mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/ruby-sig
