JSON implementation for Ruby (C extension and pure Ruby versions). I've made two ebuilds instead of one with a USE flag. YMMV. Homepage: http://json.rubyforge.org/ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 135527 [details] json-1.1.1.ebuild
Created attachment 135528 [details] json_pure-1.1.1.ebuild
Created attachment 137335 [details] dev-ruby/json-1.2.2.ebuild new ebuild for 1.2.2
I would like to see this ebuild in the portage tree, why it is not added? Are we lacking on maintainers? How to become maintainer on this ebuild?
sry, TYPO, attachment commend should be dev-ruby/json-1.1.2.ebuild
(In reply to comment #4) > I would like to see this ebuild in the portage tree, why it is not added? Most time recently has gone to security issues in various packages and maintaining existing packages. Furthermore, we tend to add new ruby libraries mostly when they are dependencies of other packages in Gentoo or when there is high demand for them. I'm not sure when I'll get to adding this package. > > Are we lacking on maintainers? How to become maintainer on this ebuild? Lack of maintainers certainly is an issue. Even though there are a fair number of people listed in the ruby herd only a few are active at the moment. Becoming a Gentoo developer goes a bit beyond maintaining a single ebuild. There is a quick overview here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=1&chap=2
dev-ruby/json was added to the tree in december 2008. A version of dev-ruby/json-pure is currently available from the ruby overlay. Thanks for the bug report and initial ebuilds.
