Description

I untar JRuby 1.1.1, and then the following happens when I attempt to list out of date gems:

$ jruby -S gem outdated
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org/
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
Error fetching remote gem cache: NameError: uninitialized constant Gem::RemoteFetcher::StringIO reading
http://gems.rubyforge.org/yaml

I get this same error when I try to do the following:

$ jruby -S gem sources -a http://gems.github.com

I've also tried this on Linux with Java 1.6, and I get the same error.

If I open up jruby-1.1.1/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/remote_fetcher.rb and add require 'stringio' to the top, it fixes the problem.

After doing some research, I think this may be considered a bug in RubyGems. In MRI, yaml.rb requires stringio, but in JRuby, yaml.rb does not. If I compile jruby from source, and make yaml.rb require stringio, then everything works correctly.

If the remote_fetcher.rb file directly requires stringio it should not rely on a non-RubyGems module to provide it transitively. I'll post a message to the rubygems mailing list.

Ola has updated the yaml lib to match MRI behavior and to require 'stringio'. After such change, there is no need for us to monkey-path rubygems anymore.
