Re: Bug#839567: rake does not work with jruby



Hi,

Resuming the discussion about this bug, I believe the best solution we
can come up right now is to drop the Provides for ruby-interpreter in
jruby, given how late we are on the release cycle already.

However, I'd like to revisit this issue during "buster" development
cycle.

jruby provides high compatibility with MRI, so users should be able
to use rake and/or another standard ruby tools with jruby if they want.
We should have in place a simple way to switch interpreters.

I'd like to have jruby 9k packaged for "buster", so this package can
be more relevant and more useful for real world users, so it's likely
this need will surface again in the future.

I plan to upload the most recent upstream release for jruby 1.7.x this
weekend and fix all remaining RC bugs, unless there is an objection or
some unexpected blocker.

Cheers,
