Hi,

[#2145] Re: Best way to install ri documentation — Richard Kilmer <rich@...> 2004/01/05

Perhaps make it available for mirrors and save ruby-lang's bandwidth?

So, I'm thinking about doing the following? Is this OK with everyone?

Hi,

[#2216] ruby aborts in data-handling applications — xsdg <xsdg@...>

I reported a similar bug about 2 or 3 months ago. The problem seemed to go

A suggestion for libraries such as base64.rb

From: Dave Thomas <dave@...>
Date: 2004-01-20 05:43:16 UTC
List: ruby-core #2285
Some of the older libraries simply insert stuff into the top-level 
namespace. For example, base64.rb adds four methods to the top-level.

As a transition away from this, how about changing these modules 
slightly. For example, base64 would become:

     module Base64
       def b64encode...
         etc

       module_function :b64encode, ...
    end
    include Base64

This doesn't break any existing code, but when we document the module 
we can strongly recommend that folks use the encapsulated forms instead 
of the global methods. Then, at some later date, we can remove the 
include statement at stop the methods being inserted at the top level.

The reason I ask is that I just finished RDoc'ing base64... :)


Cheers

Dave
