How I want to handle the removal of gems from Ruby's standard library
Posted by matijs 26/09/2024 at 16h54
I think a good process is something like this:
- Add the standard library gems to the dependencies so the warnings go away. For gem projects I think it’s fine to put them in the development dependencies because the published gems don’t need these dependencies right now
- Figure out which gems load the standard library gems
- File bug reports for those gems to make them add the standard library gems as dependencies
- Wait for those gems to be updated and then update the dependencies on those gems in my project
- Remove the standard library gems from the dependencies again
To be honest, I think I have only ever gotten as far as point 2.
