Publish to Rubygems #13

Closed robink closed 12 years ago

robink commented 12 years ago

It's a bad practice to use directly source code coming from github in a production app. Source code should be packaged into a gem and published to Rubygems.

jcoglan commented 12 years ago

We can't do this, since there is another gem using the same gem name and the same class names as this project. I guess we could publish it as songkick-oauth2-provider, but this goes against standard gem naming advice and the class name clash would still concern me.

oauth2-caterer? oauth2-dispenser? oauth2-purveyor? oauth2-provisioner?

robink commented 12 years ago

Yes, why not having an original name?

jcoglan commented 12 years ago

Because you're supposed to name gems after their root/main namespace. It's not a rule as such but it's certainly helpful to users.

Initially I didn't want to publish to Rubygems as I was wary of saying, 'hey this is the OAuth2::Provider gem, we're definitely going to update it along with draft releases'. But now a few people have asked us to release it and it's still (as far as I know) more complete and portable than anything else out there.

If we do publish it, the name will probably be songkick-oauth2-provider. In the mean time, building a gem rather than relying on master from GitHub is easy. Clone, pick a commit you're happy with, and gem build oauth2-provider.gemspec. You can convert the .gem to a .deb using fpm if that makes distributing to your servers easier.

Done!
