can install jruby-openssl gems but not using it - always using default gem

[mkristian]

setup

GEM_PATH=tmp GEM_HOME=$GEM_PATH java -jar jruby-complete-1.7.19.jar -S gem install jruby-openssl --version 0.9.6

with jruby-1.7.19 the installed gem gets activated

GEM_PATH=tmp GEM_HOME=$GEM_PATH java -jar jruby-complete-1.7.19.jar
#<Gem::Specification:0x7d0 jruby-openssl-0.9.6-java>

with jruby-1.7.20 the default gem from jruby gets activated

GEM_PATH=tmp GEM_HOME=$GEM_PATH java -jar jruby-complete-1.7.20.jar
#<Gem::Specification:0x7d0 jruby-openssl-0.9.7-java>

expected to use jruby-openssl-0.9.6-java. same results with using jruby-openssl-0.9.8.dev: jruby-1.7.20 ignores the installed gem but jruby-1.7.19 uses the installed gem.

jruby-9k.pre2 behaves like 1.7.20

@kares
upgrade works as expected.

downgrade is working via bundler or gem 'jruby-openssl', '0.9.6' since rubygems just looks at all the installed gems (including the default gems) and picks the latest version. but prereleased gems are not picked. this behavior changed with some rubygems upgrades.

so it is a feature not a bug. closing for now
