It might make sense to package REE at this point (or just apply the patches to a special ruby1.8 build). I'm very much in favor of this. Although at the moment, REE is only a ruby 1.8.7 alternative, not 1.9. The difference tho for memory usage between REE MRI 1.8.7 is striking. The current deb's provided by phusion for REE install the ruby binaries to /usr/local, which may or may not be a problem for other users consuming them. Are you aware that RVM messes with your .bash* to achieve what it wants to do? Considering that it gives you the ability to do things like gemsets, project specific configuration, I think the tradeoffs far outweigh the risks. Besides I dump all the default ubuntu .bash* tweaks anyway, and rvm works fine with what I use, and hasn't caused any problems to date. Further rvm allows to manage ruby for each user without the need for elevated privileges, which is quite nice for a number of reasons. -- ruby is slow because of --enable-pthreads https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307462 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Basically REE is Ruby 1.8.7 but MUCH faster. It doesn't do pthreads, supports copy-on-write when forking, optimizes threading, etc. It also takes over ruby, which IMO is a plus. The other nice thing is it does not need to be officially maintained by debian, so politics won't factor in here.

Your right, that last quip was uncalled for. I do want a good solution, however, it seems the ruby debian community are often at odds. I somewhat understand why it is so difficult to reconcile. Ruby uses rubygems, which work great btw. Ruby has lots of different types of packages and versions. Things in Ruby move fast and debian is all about stability. The culture and processes are vastly different. What I meant by trusting Phusion more, is Phusion part of the Ruby culture and thus more compatible with most Ruby development.

[Bug 307462] Re: ruby is slow because of --enable-pthreads
I provided a link to a benchmark. The way to reproduce this issue is to run sudo apt-get install ruby ruby benchmark.rb Compare the results with a compiled version of ruby: wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/stable-snapshot.tar.gz tar zxvf stable-snapshot.tar.gz cd stable-snapshot ./configure make sudo make install ruby benchmark.rb As in the benchmark link I provided, you will see that the compiled version of ruby is much faster. -- ruby is slow because of --enable-pthreads https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307462 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sorry, to get the compiled version of Ruby, use the following instruction instead: wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7-p72.tar.gz tar zxvf ruby-1.8.7-p72.tar.gz cd ruby-1.8.7-p72 ./configure make sudo make install -- ruby is slow because of --enable-pthreads https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307462 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also used google to find some other people having issues with --enable-pthreads. http://www.google.com/search?q=ruby+enable-pthreadsie=utf-8oe=utf-8aq=trls=org.mozilla:en-US:officialclient=firefox-a http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/browse_thread/thread/a31872d447e867cb/40a92a28e9e03793?pli=1 http://blogs.sun.com/prashant/entry/ruby_and_enable_pthreads ** Changed in: ruby1.8 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Incomplete -- ruby is slow because of --enable-pthreads https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307462 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 307462] Re: ruby is slow because of --enable-pthreads
Until there is action on this, the best practice will be to compile ruby from source, and not use this package, when using Ubuntu. -- ruby is slow because of --enable-pthreads https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307462 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
