From my reading it was about rv the new tool that hopes to replace rubygems and the push to remove the competition.
The losing of sponsorships because of the talk is what gave shopify leverage. And they used it.. out of fear over the rv tool.
- rmoriz 1y agoThe offensive statement from the 'rv' readme is clearly alarming. Shopify, as every other Ruby user, is highly dependent of a working rubygems infrastructure. I can fully understand their motivation, to clarify the situation and to implement rules and separation of concerns. However, it's clear, that the whole process was a disaster in communication, planning, execution by Ruby Central.
- hosh 1y agoChances are, this will make rv into a bigger success. Assuming the rv developers delivers on their promises. (I tried using their first version on launch only to find that the features I wanted have not been written yet). Where are you getting that Shopify fears rv?
- ipaddr 1y agoThey want Andre gone and won't allow him back according to the gist and this started because of the August 26 release where shopify starts worrying about security. The tool looks to replace gems and it's ecosystem.
- pygy_ 1y agoAnd the best way to build trust in the new tool is naturally to sabotage the old one. rv builds on André's reputation. The best way to squander it would be to attack the rubygem infrastructure.
