[opensuse-ruby] A new packaging scheme for Ruby 2.1
by Klaus Kaempf 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

Hi, going forward, Ruby becomes more important in the openSUSE and SLES codebase. This is why Coolo asked me to come up with a new Ruby packaging scheme. Read on to learn about my current thinking in this regard. What are the goals ? 1. revert the ruby, rubyXY, and ruby-common split Initially done to allow multiple Ruby versions in parallel, it wasn't really used and developers use rvm or rbenv to achieve the same effect. From a buildservice perspective, this split cause more headaches than it provided value. 2. Ruby will be part of inst-sys (for YaST) As you know, size matters. Looking at the ruby20 package, it has an install size of 18MB However, 'du -sh /usr/share/doc/packages/ruby20' reports 5.9 MB just for documentation. 3. The new package scheme should support maintenance better A split between binaries, shared libraries, and Ruby stdlib seems desirable Packaging proposal: I'd like to generate the following packages for Ruby 2.1 1. ruby-2.1 This would provide binaries (ruby, irb, rake, gem, ...) and a minimal set of documentation (changelog, readme, news, ...) 2. libruby2 This would only provide the libruby2.1.so.2.0.0 shared library 3. ruby-stdlib This would provide the /usr/lib64/ruby/2.1.0/ directory tree. 4. ruby-doc This would provide the full Ruby documentation including samples. 5. ruby-macros ? This would be a new name for ruby-common, a package only used for building ruby GEM packages. Actually, I'm not happy about the name. It should reflect the package usage. ruby-devel-build or ruby-build-macros could be alternatives. 6. ruby-devel, ruby-devel-extra, ruby-doc-ri These would stay unchanged. Comments ?

[opensuse-ruby] FFI library for ruby C/C++ extensions
by Josef Reidinger 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Hi, I would like to point to interesting library for C extension to ruby. short: just look at https://github.com/ffi/ffi how you can do quick and easy C bindings from ruby code ( so no C code needed ). For C++ you should look at https://github.com/jasonroelofs/rbplusplus long story: We discussing on lunch about various quality of C bindings ( hating perl C bindings :) ) and we remembered that duncan do something with it, but I cannot remember more details. Martin think that FFI is about making C api better but need to write in C. So I look into it how it works and are quite surprised that 1) you write it in ruby 2) is really straight forward 3) doesn't work well C++ ( let me fix it if I understand it wrong ). But I found that exists also library for it rb++ https://github.com/jasonroelofs/rbplusplus I think it is much better option then generating interface with Swig which is quite buggy and limited, especially for complex C++ and resul is not nice ( often object hierarchy is broken ).

I investigate issue now and it is quite mess. Ruby in 2.1 change destination where lives extensions. In ruby 2.1 it lives in e.g. for nokogiri at /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.1.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.1.0/nokogiri-1.6.1/nokogiri/nokogiri.so (before it lives in e.g in /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/sqlite3-1.3.7/ext/sqlite3/sqlite3_native.so ) So tricky part is how to match these new path which exist from ruby 2.1. Similar think happen with doc of extensions. Now more challenges: 1) path contain x86_64-linux but %rb_arch is x86_64-linux-gnu 2) there is no simple macro to recognize if rb_ver is bigger or equal then 2.1.0 3) RbConfig::CONFIG do not specify ruby extensions dir => RbConfig::CONFIG.values.grep /extensions/ => [] 4) specific arch string is not in CONFIG (only x86_64-linux-gnu) => RbConfig::CONFIG.values.grep /x86_64-linux([^-]|$)/ => [] Few ideas I have: 1) use package list - fill it only if extensions exists and then use it in files list -> problem with unknown arch string Any ideas that helps with above challenges will be helpful Josef -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, I tried updating factory to ruby 2.1, but I'm stuck at what looks like a DESTDIR problem: http://s.kulow.org/ruby-project-monitor In case someone cares for ruby, I'll gladly add you to the staging project so we can continue.
