[jruby-user] [ANN] ruby-pg for JRuby

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the double post. I posted this earlier to the announcements
mailing list, but didn't get any feedback. So I'm posting here in the users
mailing list hoping to get more audience.

Some of you might have come across the JRuby friendly ruby-pg gem
https://github.com/headius/jruby-pg. Unfortunately I started this work more
than a year ago. I didn't have time to fix the issues that were reported or
keep it up to date with the ruby-pg gem. Recently, I got some leisure time
and rewrote a big chunk of the gem to make it compatible with 0.17.1. I've
tested the gem with JRuby 1.7.18 and all the tests pass. The active record
(v3.2.21) tests pass as well.

That makes confident to release the gem, may be a release candidate for
now. It looks like the ruby-pg guys are willing to merge the changes in
their repo but it might take a while to do so. I think this gem should be
released separately for the now. Unless I get any feedback soon, I'll go
with jruby-pg.

Cheers,

JS
