Hi! I was thinking that it might be time to announce the Github repository on ruby-talk. We could also include a small statement about where we are, the future, and a request for contributions. What do you think? ---

The git repository is definitely easier to browse than svn so it could use some publicity. Also ruby-gnome2 has evolved quite a bit recently gaining 1.9 support and moving to the more recent gtk/gnoome parts. Thanks Michal ---

> What do you think? Yay! I love github. I also agree, it is more navigatble from the browser as well, making it really easy to lookup the source from the web. ---

Is the following list has enough topics? - Ruby-GNOME2 uses the GitHub repository instead of [SF.net](http://SF.net)’s one. (just announce) - Ruby-GNOME2 improving Ruby 1.9 support. (contirubtions are needed?) - Ruby-GNOME2 improving documentation. (contirubtions are needed?) ## Thanks, kou ---

I’ve posted it to ruby-talk ML. I’ll translate it to Japanese and also post it to ruby-list ML. 🙂 ## Thanks, kou ---

The Ruby-GNOME2 team has been hard at work the last few months to bring you updates in a wide range of areas. - Ruby 1.9 Ruby-GNOME2 now compiles and runs without warnings or errors against both Ruby 1.8 and Ruby 1.9.1 ABIs. That means that you can use it with Ruby 1.8.7, 1.9.1, 1.9.2, and 1.9.3. Support for String encodings in the 1.9 series has also been improved. Initial investigations into improving concurrency in Ruby 1.9 has also been made, but will require a lot of work to get done. - Memory management A thorough audit of memory allocations has been made and many potential memory leaks have been plugged. Garbage collection protection has also been improved, fixing problems that could previously occur in seemingly random ways. - Ease of build The build system has been vastly improved, supporting gem building and binary gems for Windows. - Ease of documentation A new documentation system based on YARD has been implemented and is currently being applied. This will improve both the documentation quality and its accessibility. - Ease of definition of new interfaces The process of linking C functions to Ruby methods has been simplified. This makes both documentation and interfaces easier to write and keep in sync. - Bug removal As a result of other changes, a large portion of the source code has been thoroughly reviewed and updated, with quite a few bugs being removed. - Gtk+ 3 support Support for Gtk+ 3 is currently being implemented. This is a sizable task and will require a lot of work. Gtk+ 3 is, however, the future and the Gtk+ 2 is now in maintenance mode. - GitHub hosting Ruby-GNOME2 is now hosted on GitHub and the Git repository is the main repository. The Subversion repository has been closed. The Ruby-GNOME2 repository can thus now be found at > **[GitHub - ruby-gnome/ruby-gnome: A set of bindings for the GNOME libraries to use...](https://github.com/ruby-gnome/ruby-gnome)** > > A set of bindings for the GNOME libraries to use from Ruby. - GObject-introspection Initial investigations into using GObject-introspection have begun. This is another sizable task that will require a lot of work, but promises huge winnings. - Contributing We are quite pleased with the progress that we’re making, but we could really use a few extra hands. The areas that we particularly want to improve is documentation, Ruby 1.9, and Gtk+ 3. So fork us on GitHub and begin submitting your pull requests! ---

It’s GLib 2.30 related problem. GObject defines GTypes for GLib types since 2.30 but Ruby/GLib2 already defined them before GLib 2.30 is released. So GTypes defined in GObject (\>= 2.30) and GTypes defined in Ruby/Glib2 are conflicted. I’ve fixed it in master. We should release a new version soon for GLib 2.30. 🙂 > and finally : > make install > /usr/bin/install -c -m 0755 glib2.so > /home/maz/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0/gems/glib2-1.0.3/lib > make: /usr/bin/install: Command not found > make: \*\*\* > [/home/maz/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0/gems/glib2-1.0.3/lib/glib2.so] Error > 127 Umm. It seems that it’s a mkmf.rb in 1.9.3 related problem. The same “install” command used in installing Ruby itself should be used for it… ## Thanks, kou ---

Just as a note, I’ve installed the latest version (1.0.3) with no problems on 1.9.3.
