Bug 244952 – dev-ruby/rubygems-1.2.0: request for stabilization

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Migol 2008-10-30 09:49:58 UTC]

I think that RubyGems 1.2.0 should be stabilized as soon as possible. Reason for that is that version 1.1.1 which have been stable one crashes when installing a gem while updating list of gems. It uses MASSIVE (c.a. 1 gig) amounts of RAM. I've installed unstable 1.2.0 version and no such problems occured.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Agreed. Arches, please stabilize rubygems 1.2.0. Although we have not seen the large use of ram ourselves, rubygems 1.2.0 contains a number of other improvements and bug fixes that we would like to get out there.

Sparc stable.  I've been using it since late June, and it seems fine.

This problem occurs only in certain configurations, nobody really knows what is going on, although 1.2.0 contains rebuilt module that in 1.1.1 fails.
