I want to pursue release an updated Mongrel gem that can compile and run under Windows Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 This is due the preview1 versions of the installer just released: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/browse_thread/thread/c38255aa= cd68d6dc For that purpose, 1.1.5 needs to be updated: - consider MinGW as valid platform (it doesn't) - change RSTRING macros Now, I've struggled all day trying to figure out from where I should get all the pieces to move forward, all without success. Patched several Rakefiles to get extensions build, but tests fails. Patched extension to get Ruby 1.9, and tests stall. Cannot release a Gem for Windows since Echoe hook itself and don't let rake-compiler tasks run well. So: Should I consider Mongrel (and fauna/mongrel) repository dead and move forward? Mongrel is still being actively used by MANY users, even some moved to Passenger, or Thin, Mongrel is still an excellent option. I just want the "team" answer so I decide to invest time on getting that fixed or invest time on getting "another project inspired by Mongrel" build properly on Windows. Please let me know as soon as possible in your agenda, since I'm expecting lot of reports of failures when using the preview1 installers. Thanks in advance for the feedback and your time.
