Feature #6823: Where/how should ruby-mode issues be reported?

[now (Nikolai Weibull)]

Hi!

I’ve previously reported a couple of issues with ruby-mode, namely

http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5356

and

http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5357

They’ve seen no progress.

Just to be clear, am I reporting these issues to the correct bug tracker?

There are quite a few ruby-mode bugs that are going stale:

http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5140
http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5382
http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5453
http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5670 (dup of 5382, but is more
explicit, so should replace 5382)
http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6090

And some new ones:

http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6742

A comment from Shyouhei on

http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5453

states that one should report this to the Emacs developers. Is this
correct? If so, all these issues should be reported there and closed.
Also, ruby-mode.el should then be removed from the Ruby repository to
avoid any confusion (well, it should really be removed either way).

Currently, I hesitate to drop ruby-mode.el from 2.0.0.
I'm setting to next minor tentatively. But I'm open to any opinion (before code freeze).

Anyone knows a similar case where some parts are transfered to other projects (such as Emacs)?

[nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)]

vote to remove ruby-mode.el.

[dgutov (Dmitry Gutov)]

I vote to remove it as well.

Is there anything we can or should do in the Emacs trunk to speed it up?

[bozhidar (Bozhidar Batsov)]

I also support the removal of ruby-mode.el. Its presence in the Ruby codebase creates a lot of confusion for Emacs users.

[hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA)]

I can create a repository on GitHub. ex. "https://github.com/ruby/elisp"

We will discuss this issue at next developer meeting at Dec, 12th.

Remove old ruby-mode.el

Use emacs bundled ruby-mode.el instead.
