Feature #16170
closedRemove the unmaintained libraries from Ruby 2.7
Description
I'm working to extract standard libraries to rubygems in recent years. So, the standard libraries will be promoted the default gems or bundled gems.
But I suggest removing some of the unmaintained libraries without default/bundled gems.
These are here:
- cmath
- mutex_m
- scanf
- shell
- sync
- thwait
- tracer
We should reduce the maintenance cost for them.

Agreed. Might also be simpler to get full support in gem-spec format
for those libraries that are maintained. :)
Some of them I have not even read before at all, such as mutex_m.

Can we also remove them?
- debug
- getoptlong

I'll maintain debug
. Can we remain it as bundled gem?

Can we remain it as bundled gem?
sounds good.
We are going to remove them at Ruby 2.7.0-preview2
- cmath
- scanf
- shell
- sync
- thwait
We need to investigate the following stdlibs with irb. After resolve dependencies, We will remove them.
- tracer
- e2mmap
debug
will be promoted the bundled gems, mutex_m
and getoptlong
remains in stdlibs at Ruby 2.7.

FYI: How many times the gems is required from all latest public gems by using gem-codesearch.
$ csearch "require .mutex_m.$" | wc -l
199
$ csearch "require .scanf.$" | wc -l
119
$ csearch "require .thwait.$" | wc -l
84
$ csearch "require .sync.$" | wc -l
83
$ csearch "require .tracer.$" | wc -l
77
$ csearch "require .shell.$" | wc -l
72
$ csearch "require .cmath.$" | wc -l
22

Just FTR, I am using tracer from time to time, typically just from command line as -rtracer
. I'll be sad to see it go away ...
