Binary release

Ruby IronRuby
1

Hi

I’ve noticed that the -I switch for passing in search paths has also
gone
away. In the binary release John talks about a batteries included
approach.
Does that mean all we have to do is extract it to a folder, add the bin
folder to the PATH variable and off we go or are there still some
switches
to pass in when we want to use rubygems etc?

Thanks
Ivan

The –I switch is still there. We’re still delegating to ir.cmd to run
IronRuby today. We’ll fix some of these problems now that we have a
fixed relative path layout to our libs directory. We’ll be updating this
drop to reflect this soon (and to do a few other things that we missed
this time around like enabling RubyGems support out of the box).

Thanks,
-John

Will we see regular binary releases? I’m behind a particularly
draconian proxy and SVN won’t work. HTTP headers that SVN uses are
blocked. Being able to get regular binaries or even zipped source
would be so nice!

Life will get better for you when we move to github for our sources as
they support tarball gen. And yes we will do more regular binary drops.

I have a mirror of the IronRuby svn at GitHub:
http://github.com/petebacondarwin/ironruby.
I will manually track the svn repository on the “master” branch of this
git
repository for the time being. (The git-svn doesn’t work too well on
windows
at the moment).
I have been using it to track my implementation of the BigDecimal
library,
which you are welcome to take a look at in the “bigdecimal” branch.
Checkout the cool network graph to see what I mean:
http://github.com/petebacondarwin/ironruby/network.
You can pull zipped up sources from github. E.g. The master branch
(which
is currently a copy of SVN r127) can be pulled from:
http://github.com/petebacondarwin/ironruby/tarball/master.
Hope that helps,
Pete

I can look into syncing svn to my github account. If it’s easy I’ll do
it and let you know.

Cool, I’m going to let you handle it. BTW, I’ll probably be pulling your
BigDecimal stuff tonight. Thanks for the contribution.

Out of interest, when are we going to have sync’ed releases of the
DLR, IronRuby and IronPython?? Would be really useful for IronEditor
:wink:

Just be aware that this BigDecimal is not quite there on division,
remainder/modulos and sqrt at the moment.

The DLR is going to stabilize at some point in the fall (I forget the
exact date, but probably around PDC) and have its own codeplex project.
At that time, the language repositories will start to share the version
of the DLR on codeplex.

In the shorter term, I’m updating the codeplex.com/sdlsdk bits shortly,
so I’d suggest just taking that and then changing around things to build
against the desktop assemblies. Peter has done this already, so if you
have questions he’s your man.

Daily builds for all these things are definitely something else that’ll
have to come shortly.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel =)

As IronPython releases much less frequently, perhaps you could sync a
binary release of IronRuby at the same time as the next IronPython
release.
