Gem release

[headius]

This issue is a placeholder for getting a gem released.

We are currently working on jruby/jruby#5576, which has as a goal to get all default gems set up the same way as CRuby. I understand that the prime name on rubygems.org is not available, so there's some question about how to get a released gem. However if there's no released gem, then prime can not be a default gem library.

To understand the conundrum in JRuby: we do not populate our repository with copies of any default gems. Once a gem moves to default, we delete it from our repository and source it from the gem at build time. That can't happen for prime (or for matrix or ostruct) until the appropriate bits are in a gem form.

I have reverted the default gemification of prime and other libraries as part of work on jrubyjruby#5576. Once the gems are out there, I can flip them back.

Why can't we take control of the prime gem? It's got 2k downloads, is 23 loc and features two methods: Prime.prime?(n) and Prime.primes(start, number_of_primes). If we are truly worried about compatibility, we could simply copy the interface (i.e. add Prime.primes)

There is no response from the current name holder of prime gem for transferring request by me.

You can confirm it.

$ curl https://rubygems.org/api/v1/gems/prime/owners.json
[{"id":58848,"handle":"slmnwise","email":"slmnwise@gmail.com"}]

I try to take over it without the approval of the current name-holder by rubygems admin.

Finally, I got the namespace of prime

@headius I released prime-0.1.0 same as Ruby 2.6 version.
