Libraries that need to be gemified #6682
Description
Updated: Many gems have been incorporated (on our 3.0 branch) and some are in progress, so I am updating this description to include a complete list of the remaining gems needed to match Ruby 3 (in JRuby 9.4). See #4875 for earlier discussion about gemification.
Default Gems, pure-ruby
Most of the pure-Ruby libraries have been updated to use the gems. The exceptions below may not install or may have other native library dependencies that do not yet support JRuby.
- english: refused to install through mavengems for some reason
- debug: out of sync in CRuby repo and missing JRuby tweaks
- net/ftp: tweaks for missing jruby-openssl functionality
- net/http: tweaks for JDK proxy properties
- net/protocol: depends on C extension gems that do not currently have JRuby support
- open3: we have custom logic that needs to be merged with the gem (Support JRuby ruby/open3#3)
readline: need to get JRuby support into readline-ext before we can remove our version(reline is all that's needed now)- resolv: needs some JRuby tweaks in the gem
- securerandom: we have a custom version that uses a native extension
set: ours is all native and needs to be merged with the gem(moved to core in Ruby 4)- tempfile: switching to the gem in JRuby 10 (Use gem for tempfile #7973)
- tmpdir: minor tweaks to our version that needed to be merged
- weakref: ours is all native and needs to be merged with the gem
Default gems, native extensions
All of these gems need native JRuby support, or some workaround:
- bigdecimal (Stub out extension build on JRuby ruby/bigdecimal#250)
- cgi (jruby support ruby/cgi#9)
- digest - we have our own impl (java version ruby/digest#20, jruby support ruby/digest#21)
- date
- dbm/gdbm (low priority, rarely used)
- etc (could possibly move to pure-FFI)
- fcntl (same)
- fiddle (not based on FFI)
- io-nonblock (Add TruffleRuby & JRuby in CI and use the correct fallback pattern for rb_io_descriptor() ruby/io-nonblock#12)
- io-wait (JRuby support ruby/io-wait#2)
- nkf (low priority)
- openssl (Stub gemspec for JRuby ruby/openssl#598)
- pathname
- readline-ext
- stringio (Import JRuby's stringio impl ruby/stringio#21)
- strscan (Import JRuby's strscan ruby/strscan#25)
- syslog
- win32ole
- zlib
Bundled gems, not default but with native requirements
- rbs: includes a large native extension for CRuby that we do not have
- typeprof: depends on rbs

👍 I'll support this.

strscan gemification is started in ruby/strscan#25.
headius commentedon Sep 3, 2021
See ruby/digest#20 / ruby/digest#21 for the gemification of Digest.
headius commentedon Sep 3, 2021
stringio started in ruby/stringio#21

@headius Thanks for your work! Did we get the approval for relicensing JRuby libraries that are this work at ruby/digest#21 (comment) ?
I'm not sure what we should get the approval for that each pull requests.
headius commentedon Sep 3, 2021
@hsbt I believe we got approval from everyone except @chrisseaton in that PR and updated my comment to be a checklist.
@chrisseaton You responded affirmatively to the PR, but could you add something along the lines of "I consent to having my contributions relicensed etc etc"?
headius commentedon Sep 3, 2021
@hsbt FWIW having talked with legal-ish folks about license changes, as long as everyone publicly states that they are ok with it that is generally enough, legally-speaking.

ruby/digest#21 (comment)
headius commentedon Sep 4, 2021
@chrisseaton Thank you!
@hsbt That's everyone!
headius commentedon Sep 4, 2021
I will try to make sure the other PRs can get relicensed as well.

I have updated the description with a complete list of Ruby 3.0 gemified libraries and links to current issues and PRs.
headius commentedon Oct 1, 2021
At least a complete list of the gemified libraries that we could not trivially incorporate. Several like
fileutilsandrdocalready worked fine and have just been switched to default gems.12 remaining items

net-ftp gem (version 0.1.3?) in 9.4 is missing a customization from 9.3 to comment out use of
session_new_cb. 9.3 has this comment block:# NOTE: session_cache_mode = has no effect on (current) JRuby-OpenSSL # @ssl_context.session_cache_mode = # OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext::SESSION_CACHE_CLIENT | # OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext::SESSION_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE # SSLSocket#session= does nothing with JRuby-OpenSSL # @ssl_context.session_new_cb = proc {|sock, sess| @ssl_session = sess }The current gem, 0.3.6, doesn't work either.
headius commentedon Jun 25, 2024
@adurgin Good catch! I'll see about getting a PR into net-ftp to make it work on JRuby.
Don't use OpenSSL session cache on JRuby
headius commentedon Jun 25, 2024
@adurgin I've submitted a PR to net-ftp so we're just waiting for that to merge and release.
ruby/net-ftp#38
adurgin commentedon Jun 25, 2024
Fantastic. Thank you.
For anyone else affected, I was able to work around it in the interim with a monkey patch of initialize.
In case one is better than the other, I did notice that net-http approached it in a slightly different way: https://github.com/ruby/net-http/blob/master/lib/net/http.rb#L1681
headius commentedon Jun 26, 2024
net-ftp 0.3.7 has been released with a fix! I'll update JRuby to ship that where appropriate and we should be good to go.
headius commentedon Jun 26, 2024
net-ftp updated in #8305
This will merge into 9.4 and 10 once it's green.
