3:18:51 PM raggi: indirect: any platformed (non-ruby) lockfile generation MUST include the ruby platform gem of the same name and version
3:19:02 PM indirect: oh
3:19:05 PM indirect: well that seems reasonable
3:19:10 PM raggi: so, it needs to throw up an error if that doesnt' exist in the spec index
3:19:17 PM raggi: problem is, that means it has to hit the resolver
3:19:18 PM indirect: is there any time we wouldn't do that?
3:19:20 PM raggi: (SORRY)
3:19:30 PM indirect: right, but we're only talking about doing this at resolve-time
3:19:35 PM indirect: haha
3:19:39 PM indirect: the resolver isn't _that_ bad
3:19:43 PM indirect: and it has pretty good tests at this point
3:19:45 PM raggi: no i know
3:19:50 PM raggi: all i'm saying is
3:20:05 PM raggi: if you have gem-1.0-mswin32.gem and no gem-1.0.gem
3:20:19 PM raggi: and someone set gem 'gem', '=1.0'
3:20:21 PM raggi: it must fail
3:20:36 PM raggi: unless maybe some sekret option that's like --platform-restrict=mswin32
3:20:50 PM raggi: (which is actually more likely applicable to jruby)
3:20:57 PM raggi: --platform-restrict=java
3:21:47 PM raggi: ideally you could spec multiple of those
3:22:01 PM raggi: by default it would allow all platforms, and assume that "ruby" works for all platforms
3:22:13 PM raggi: (which nominally it does - kinda)
3:22:33 PM raggi: rubygems needs slightly better platform support, but this gets you over 90% of hurdles
3:23:04 PM raggi: there's still 10% like ironruby and some c-exts that won't work on other interpreters, like c-exts under "ruby" platform gems that don't owrk on rbx
3:23:32 PM raggi: ideally, MRI would acutally version up the C spec as an API standard
3:23:47 PM raggi: then we could say ext gems should have a platform of like "ruby-mri18"
3:23:58 PM raggi: (which would include for example RARRAY_LEN)
3:24:14 PM raggi: and ruby-mri19 which would include RARRAY()->len
3:24:20 PM raggi: blah blah
3:24:24 PM raggi: maybe like ruby-ffi
3:24:47 PM raggi: you get the idea, but that's rubygems side and a way out, maybe after i've done the packaging shit like, april next year
