> Has anyone been keeping a TODO list for running sup on ruby-1.9?
The major blocker for a while was the Ferret gem. With the advent of the
Xapian branch, I have been toying around with getting Sup + Xapian to
work on 1.9.1. So far all the gem dependencies seem to compile except
ncurses, which needs some minor code tweaks.
The latest Xapian has Ruby 1.9.1-compatible bindings, but unfortunately
the API seems to have shifted since Rich's patches. I get:
lib/sup/xapian_index.rb:24:in `initialize': Wrong arguments for overloaded
method 'WritableDatabase.new'. (ArgumentError)
Possible C/C++ prototypes are:
WritableDatabase.new()
WritableDatabase.new(std::string const &path, int action)
WritableDatabase.new(Xapian::WritableDatabase const &other)
from lib/sup/xapian_index.rb:24:in `new'
from lib/sup/xapian_index.rb:24:in `initialize'
from bin/sup:132:in `new'
from bin/sup:132:in `<module:Redwood>'
from bin/sup:62:in `<main>'
Moving to 1.9 is highly desirable. It would be a major win for non-ASCII
display issues and for speed in general. I would also like to try moving
some of the display code from threads to fibers, since there are still
weird threading bugs in there that occasionally crop up, and I think it
would simplify the implementation.
