Re: Bundled Buildr + JRuby distribution
Any plans on making the distribution available in the site? Maybe using
--fast to run jruby and jrubyc to precompile all ruby files?
Thanks

Official Apache releases are source code and have to be clear of any
licensing issues.
There's more flexibility with convenience binary downloads (that are not
official releases), as long as they don't cause any licensing violations and
people won't get them confused with official releases.

Hi Ittay,
I'm unclear as to whether we'll be able to distribute it on the Apache
site. We'll need to review the license on all packaged software against
Apache policies.
My intention is definitely to synchronize the release of the all-in-one
JRuby distribution with the official Apache Buildr release and worse case,
distribute it via separate channels and link to it from our site -- not
unlike what we do with RubyForge/GemCutter.
If you have suggestions, I'm all ears.

Re: Bundled Buildr + JRuby distribution

Precompiling all of the .rb scripts is a really good idea. That would
certainly help improve performance of the all-in-one bundle, especially on
JRuby 1.4 and later.
