Would it be possible to request that there be a way to download
“unstable” jruby releases more easily–a la something like what core
does, with unstable snapshots?
That would be swell.
Yeah, on the other hand, building JRuby is, like, 100x times easier
and faster than MRI. Basically, no external dependencies.
All you need to do is to get the sources, have java installed and the
only other dependency is Ant (for building).
Setting Ant is as easy as downloading and unpacking and making
available in the PATH.
After that, simple ‘ant’ command, and 30 seconds later you have the
fresh JRuby. No half-hour compiles, no tens of dependencies, etc.
So, entire task would take less then 5minutes, with the great benefit
that you could follow the JRuby sources from now on with no effort at
all, just git pull && ant.
Thanks,
–Vladimir
