[jira] [Updated] (BUILDR-636) Do not set hard version numbers for gem dependencies unless absolutely necessary

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-636?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Russell Teabeault updated BUILDR-636:
-------------------------------------

    Description: 
I am finding more and more that buildr's gem dependencies are causing conflicts with my own project's gem requirements.  This is typically because the version in the gemspec is set to a specific version instead of a minimum version.

For example in buildr.gemspec,

spec.add_dependency 'rake', '0.8.7'

probably should be

spec.add_dependency 'rake', '>= 0.8.7'

unless there is a good reason that it only works with rake 0.8.7.
