Gemifying Ruby standard library

Description

=begin

Up-to-date summary of this proposal is at ((URL:https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby/wiki/StdlibGem))

== Motivation

  • ruby's release cycle is slow for some standard libraries;
    • ex. security fix for WEBrick, xmlrpc and Zlib.
    • ex. API iteration for net/http, OpenSSL, json, psych, RDoc, minitest and rake.
  • There's already the feature called 'default gems' in ruby and some stdlibs are already using it:
    • rake, rdoc, minitest, json, io-console, bigdecimal
    • And some gems are already doing out-of-band releases.
  • When releasing we should give independence equally to all stdlibs, but in a consistent and controllable way.

== Proposal

  • Allow out-of-band stdlib releases.
    • We are not proposing changes to ruby's release management, the release manager would decide when they release ruby and stdlib.
  • Allow more stdlibs to be installed as a 'default gem'
  • Register these gems on RubyGems.org
    • Introduce a new mechanism: controlling supported ruby version so that we can avoid installing unexpected version of stdlib gems.
      For example, a WEBrick gem for ruby 2.0.1 (released from ruby_2_0_1 branch) should not be installed for ruby 2.0.0 (released from ruby_2_0_0 branch) unless we know it works for both 2.0.0 and 2.0.1.

Note:

  • Moving stdlibs repository location is not a target of this proposal. The implementation details of stdlib gems should hide this from ruby committers.
  • ruby_1_9_3 is not a target of this proposal. The change should be introduced from 2.0.0 release.

...Some more details of the proposal and discussion topics are going to follow as comments.
