| Analysis of library dependencies in the Ruby world… |
|
I have analyzed the dependencies of over
130 libraries and applications available in the Ruby Production Archive. This
represents over 10% of RAA so maybe some conclusions can be drawn…
The libraries most depended on are log4r and redcloth. We can see that the
dependency chains are quite short, and that in general there are few
dependencies. I think the latter is due to the inclusion of several
well-known libraries into Ruby’s stdlib in 1.8.
Take a look at the graph and try to extract some more information yourself… It represents only the libraries/applications that depend on, or are needed by, some other. |
