#4067 — Ruby Activity

Is ruby still being developed? The official site has last release in dec
2010.


The other thing is are any of the GUI toolkits still being developed.
Most of them date back to 2009 or later.

I love ruby but I went looking for a GUI toolkit today and found no
active ones then I started looking at ruby for the reason and now I am
worried.

Thanks in advance

It sure is. There are a dozen or so commits so far today, and about
200 this week:

You'll need to be a bit more specific, I think. "GUI toolkit" covers a
lot of different things.

[Note:  parts of this message were removed to make it a legal post.]

The main site is more about stable releases, so they tend to have some time
between them.

Lots of the GUI toolkits are simply bindings to things like gtk or kde, so
they're beholden to that schedule.

Others, like Shoes, are under active development, but can be slow sometimes.
I'm the maintainer for Shoes, and I don't exactly have a big team, so while
I'm literally doing some dev right now, we don't put out new releases on a
super-fast schedule.

Thank you for the answers, I am happy to hear that. As to gui toolkit it 
means a kit that allows you to make guis. It seems to be the term in any 
programming language I have coded in the past, if it has a different 
name id love to know to correct my miss understanding.

Now-a-days, they're called "browsers" :P.

Ruby comes with tk build in. While your investigating which toolkits
are right for your project that on is distributed with the language to
play with right off the bat.

It's actually not built into the RubyInstaller Windows versions. Maybe
there are other distributions that it's not built into either. (You
can install Tcl/Tk yourself and then use the tk_as_gem gem to get it.)

Hi,

I'm actually using a Mac with Snow Leopard...
At the Bash command line: the command tclsh invokes TCL, so it is installed 
on my machine...
However, in irb: require 'tk' gives an error message...

I'd appreciate any advice...quite frankly, I don't know how to install TCL 
with Ruby gems...

Thank you

If you use macports this is how you enable the variant flag:

% port -v install ruby +tk

or for 1.9.x:

% port -v install ruby19 +tk

rvm will install it as default. There is documentation on the rvm site
for further integration with macports and tk

#4369 — Git configuration file: .gitconfig

Good morning,
I'm trying to get Git going for version control..
I've got Git 1.7.5 installed on a Mac with Snow Leopard...
Supposedly, the config file is named .gitconfig and it should be in my home 
directory, according to AWDWR authors...
I did a ls -a .gitconfig in my home directory and in root, but can not find 
it.
I'd appreaciate any help...
Thank you

It's optional; but if you want one, create it.

Thank you Hassan...

Presumably, it should be in the same directory as the .gitignore file...

One last question, how do you add 'my name' and 'my email address' to this 
file?
The AWDWR authors indicate that it should look like:
[user]
name = Sam Ruby
email = ruby@interwingly.net

Good day

RTFM. Or at least a git tutorial one site over on github.

No need to apologize all the time. :)

It's a good idea to head over to github, anyway, if you plan to work
with Rails a lot. A lot of tooling centers around Git and silently
assumes that you either know Git, or have it at least installed
(that's why AWDWR mentions Git: It's used to pull plugins). And, of
course, Rails is hosted on github.

I wonder why the guys over there wrote the documentation?
