2266 rake gems broken for vendored gems which are unbuilt extensions was updated in Ruby on Rails
  • David Dollar
    David Dollar commented at 6:58 PM

    A patch is attached that should handle these cases. I've added some code that does a check for gems with native components that have not yet been built and bail...

2195 Fix the gem dependency system in Rails was updated in Ruby on Rails
  • David Dollar
    David Dollar commented at 1:38 PM

    I actually disagree that unpack should not install first. The analogy to the gem system doesn't really apply. With rake gems:unpack you are trying to unpack the...
