Summary
Publish DoltLite to RubyGems so Ruby apps can gem install doltlite. Today there is no Ruby distribution.
What needs to happen
- Build a gem with native extensions wrapping the DoltLite C library
- Mirror Ruby's
sqlite3 gem API where reasonable
- Pre-built native gems (rake-compiler) for major platforms so users don't compile on install
gem push step in the release workflow on tagged releases
Why this matters
Rails apps that want versioned data without standing up a server are a natural DoltLite audience. They expect gem install.
Docker is the primary channel for Dolt and Doltgres today — packaging is what makes adoption happen, not raw capability.
