Hi! I'm a ruby and FreeBSD user and I've made some patches to update ruby-mysql, ruby-fcgi and ruby-sqlite. Further I'm working a lot with ruby-gems. The problem is, that installing gems is independent from the ports tree. My goal is to combine ruby-gems and the ports tree like done for PHP Pear or Perl CPAN. For example I use Ruby on Rails (www.rubyonrails.com). Rails is distributed as a gem with gem-dependencies. I already made some ports of the dependencies as non-gems (that means that they install into /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/). But these ports are independant of ruby-gems. You can find my patches and the already finished non-gem ports here: http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/2005/05/06/ruby-on-rails-and-the-freebsd-ports My first idea of combining ruby-gems and the ports tree is having ports like www/gem-rails. This port would depend on ruby-gems and would install into /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ What do you think? Greets, Jonathan -- Jonathan Weiss jw@innerewut.de http://blog.innerewut.de
