Release new stable version

[donv]

Hi @headius !

I'd like to do a refresh of this gem as an alternative to ARJDBC.

Specifically, I would like to refresh the gem build system to a straight gem build without Hoe, and release a new stable version.

What name should the gem have? it is called pg, jruby-pg, and pg_jrubyin the Rakefile, the GitHub project, and in RubyGems.org. I guess pg_jruby is the right name since it has already been released with that name.

I see lots of C-code in the ext directory. Is this still a part of this project, or should it be deleted?

jruby-pg is derived from ruby-pg and the intention is/was to add a jruby port to the pg gem and to merge it to ruby-pg eventually, so that we can release a java version of the pg.gem. This is why there are C files in the project and why Hoe is used.

However ruby-pg has added a lot of functions in the meantime, which are used by the PostgreSQL adapter of rails-5. Therefore jruby-pg isn't compatible with rails-5, so far.

It would be great if someone with enough java knowledge could get jruby-pg more in sync with ruby-pg. Removing Hoe is less helpful, to reach this aim, because it diverges the projects instead of join them.

Hi @larskanis !

Thanks for the feedback! It all makes more sense now.

So maybe this work should be done on a branch at ged/ruby-pg ?

Time to make this happen.

I have pushed jruby-pg 0.1 to rubygems.org. It appears to load and run samples ok.
