Omg, rubinius, I banish you to the allow failures. I think that's three today! And it happens all the time! cc (with ❤️ to @brixen )

@bf4 that issue has been fixed. FWIW, you can thank rubygems for loading a massive Regexp of "acceptable" licenses (yes, they think they can specify what is acceptable) when installing a gem, when it should only be relevant to building a gem (if ever, arguably). But hey, why use #each when you can have the Regexp engine do iteration for you.

@brixen I love you, man, but sometimes...

"acceptable"

That list, SPDX, is just standard abbreviations of various licenses. It's not supposed to be checking what's acceptable, just against a standard list. (Full-disclosure: I was involved in getting SPDX into the RubyGems.org spec and collaborated on that PR)...

The regex, however, was added later in rubygems/rubygems#1387 by segiddins and hsbt... I have no idea why they chose the regex approach, but they are certainly Ruby experts...

I agree that the check should really only be made at build. I suppose the problem with that is that people using the rake release bundler task won't get a chance to see the warning until it's too late.

Lemme know when you're back in Chicago :)

@bf4 you may have a different definition for "acceptable" than I do, but this is rubygems output

$ gem build rubysl-openssl.gemspec
WARNING:  WARNING: license value 'BSD' is invalid.  Use a license identifier from
http://spdx.org/licenses or 'Nonstandard' for a nonstandard license.

"invalid" doesn't sound very acceptable. "unrecognized", "did you mean XYZ", or something similar might be, well, acceptable. More relevant, why is this tool dictating this? And why not in a linting step? Deep questions.

Anyway, the Rubinius issue is fixed. No plans to be in Chicago. Come visit Portland. :)

Ok, the words could probably use some reworking :) 'Someone should do something' :)

Portland... love the city, would love to go, but I just about never fly west.
