Feature #19351

Updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) over 1 year ago

In Ruby 3.2, the default gems and bundled gems are changed only adding `syntax_suggest`. I and some committers are considering promote default gems to bundled gems again for Ruby 3.3+. 

 We hope to keep the current developer experience with dependency resolution and ignore the additional work like "Put gem "xxx" into your Gemfile" for developers. 

 ### Proposal for Ruby 3.3.0-preview2 

 I We propose the following libraries will promote default gems to bundled gems at Ruby 3.3.0-preview2 

 ``` 
 abbrev 
 getoptlong 
 observable 
 resolv-replace 
 rinda 
 nkf (C-ext) 
 syslog (C-ext) 
 base64 
 drb 
 mutex_m 
 ``` 

 Other default gems depends on `make test-all` or other standard libraries. It's hard to promote in this time. And I submit a PoC of bypass feature for Bundler and bundled gems: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/6811 

 This feature add `load_paths` defined by `Gem.bundled_gems` that is pair list of Gem name and version under the Bundler environment. This mean user can `require` bundled gems like `csv` without `gem "csv"` on Gemfile. 

 And we need to warn like "'csv' is loaded without Gemfile, add "gem 'csv'" in your Gemfile" in `require` or other place. I have no idea how notice this yet.

 ### Proposal 

 I propose the following libraries will promote default gems to bundled gems at Ruby 3.3. They are not the dependencies of Rails and RubyGems/Bundler. 

 


 ``` 
 abbrev 
 getoptlong 
 observable 
 resolv-replace 
 rinda 
 nkf (C-ext) 
 syslog (C-ext) 
 ``` 

 Update: I removed `optparse` and `un` from above list. Because they are used by Ruby build process. 

 ``` 
 optparse 
 un 
 ``` 

 Update 2: I also removed the following libraries. `resolv` and `fcntl` are used by test of Ruby internal like `test_io.rb`. And we don't have built process of C extension at Windows platform. I gave up to extract `win32ole` in this time. 

 ``` 
 resolv 
 fcntl (C-ext) 
 win32ole (C-ext) 
 ``` 

 ### Additional works 

 I also propose to promote rails dependencies without rubygems/bundler deps: 

 ``` 
 base64 
 drb 
 mutex_m 
 ``` 

 Update: `delegate` is used by `tempfile`. We need to keep `delegate` as default gems for build process. and I added `reline` into above list. 

 Update 2: The following libraries used by tests of `ruby/ruby` and other libraries like psych. I need to remove their dependency from `ruby/ruby`. 

 ``` 
 benchmark 
 forwardable 
 ipaddr 
 irb 
 reline 
 ostruct 
 rdoc 
 singleton 
 tsort 
 weakref 
 bigdecimal (C-ext) 
 date(datetime) (C-ext) 
 ``` 

 


 And gems maintained by @kou  

 ``` 
 csv 
 ``` 

 Following gems also maintained by @kou, but they are used on RubyGems/Bundler or MJIT. Maybe, We couldn't promote them because RubyGems/Bundler couldn't bundle C-ext gems. 

 ``` 
 fiddle (C-ext): used by MJIT 
 stringio (C-ext) used by RubyGems/Bundler 
 strscan (C-ext) used by RubyGems/Bundler 
 ``` 

 ### Follow-up feature 

 But if we promote them to bundled gems, many of users need to add like `gem "csv"` into their Gemfile. I'm considering avoiding to avoid this situation. 

 Can we introduce the specific feature of bundled gems to RubyGems or Bundler? Example, bundler have allowed list for bundled gems. So, listed gems could be require without Gemfile under the bundle exec.
