Clarification about the minimum Ruby version about partially_useful

[phoet]

@jlecour fair enough! the implicit assumption is the .travis.yml file though 😸

what version of ruby are you running on? i don't want to support anything < 1.9 though...

[phoet]

@jlecour pastis-rb LOL 👍 http://pastisrb.org/

[phoet]

so, this is now compatible to MRI

• 2.0.0
• 2.1.0
• 2.1.1

[jlecour]

I hope you won't mind me nitpicking.

As a user of your gem, I understand the CI test matrix show what version of Ruby you're testing it against. It usually means that you make it work on this versions and don't guarantee that it will pass on others.

Here we have a clear incompatibility.

I'd suggest adding spec.required_ruby_version = '>= 2.0.0' in the gemspec which is a good way tell rubygems that your gem is compatible with Ruby 2+

[phoet]

@jlecour AFAIK jruby does not work with prepend so this might be a misleading information

[celsodantas]

but isn't adding a required_ruby_version = '>= 2.0.0' better then having Ruby Dependency >= 0?

[phoet]

i've actually never seen this on rubygems. most gems don't have that information displayed, weird...

[jlecour]

Maybe the gemspec should also include a platform specification, but I don't know how to exclude JRuby without excluding other implementations that support Module#prepend.

@headius or @brixen might know about this, being involved in non-MRI Ruby implementations.

[phoet]

@jlecour FYI jruby and 1.9.3 supported now

[phoet]

[note to self] never use this gem feature ever again, it's stupid and should be removed

[jlecour]

@phoet What feature are you talking about?
