I've been thinking about this lately as well. It's come up many times in the past I just wasn't sure how best to handle it other than just shipping the changed name :)
I’ve proposed a similar change to libxml-ruby
and fleshed out my thoughts on how best to roll this out: https://github.com/xml4r/libxml-ruby/pull/81#issuecomment-30852959.
Just as I offered to libxml-ruby
, I’m happy to help coordinate this release process.
For what it’s worth, bcrypt
just made this transition seamlessly. Is there any reason not to move forward with this?
:+1: I always try to gem install yail
when I realize it’s called yajl
with a J
– oh no wait yajl-ruby
:wink:
It makes sense for this repository to be named
yajl-ruby
, to avoid ambiguity with other wrapper libraries (not to mention YAJL itself) but the gem name need not include-ruby
, since therubygems
package manager is tightly coupled to the Ruby language. Just as thesqlite3-ruby
gem was renamed tosqlite
, this package’s name should just beyajl
.This also increases consistency between the library’s name and the way it is required.
