Hi Christopher,

I don't think it's a terrible problem to have various Rubygem ports in
the tree in order to satisfy dependencies for other ports.  However, I
would be in favor of coming up with a cleaner solution than
registering a bunch of version-specific Rubygem port directories
before the situation gets too out of hand.

I didn't finish the Vagrant port because I ran out of time, and I
would encourage you to continue with it.  I think it's a useful tool,
and I also worked on porting veewee
(https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee) to layer on top of it.  I didn't
finish that either, but it shouldn't be terribly difficult.

Because I'm interested in preventing an explosion of Rubygem
version-specific port directories, I played around with the idea of a
single port directory having the ability to install any version of its
gem.

So far, the results are encouraging, and I can install multiple gem
versions like so:

portsdev# pwd
/root/Ports/head/devel/rubygem-childprocess
portsdev# make install-0.3.1 clean-0.3.1 install-0.3.2 clean-0.3.2
install-0.3.5 clean-0.3.5
...
===>   Registering installation for rubygem-childprocess035-0.3.1
===>  Cleaning for rubygem-childprocess031-0.3.1
...
===>   Registering installation for rubygem-childprocess035-0.3.2
===>  Cleaning for rubygem-childprocess032-0.3.2
...
===>   Registering installation for rubygem-childprocess035-0.3.5
===>  Cleaning for rubygem-childprocess035-0.3.5
portsdev# pkg_info | grep childproc
rubygem-childprocess031-0.3.1 External background process controller
rubygem-childprocess032-0.3.2 External background process controller
rubygem-childprocess035-0.3.5 External background process controller

I had to add the package name suffix (e.g. 031), even though it's
redundant, to avoid package naming conflicts.

This idea needs to be generalized more and moved into bsd.ruby.mk.  In
particular, handling the *_DEPENDS variables is tricky, especially
when different gem versions need different versions of their dependencies.

Eventually, I want you to be able to do something like (using the
vagrant port as an example):

RUN_DEPENDS=	erubis:${PORTSDIR}/www/rubygem-erubis \

rubygem-childprocess>=0.3.1:${PORTSDIR}/devel/rubygem-childprocess:install-0.3-latest
\
  rubygem-i18n>=0.6.0:${PORTSDIR}/devel/rubygem-i18n:install-0.6-latest \
  rubygem-json>=1.5.1:${PORTSDIR}/devel/rubygem-json:install-1.5-latest \

rubygem-log4r>=1.1.9:${PORTSDIR}/sysutils/rubygem-log4r:install-1.1-latest
\

rubygem-net-ssh>=2.2.2:${PORTSDIR}/security/rubygem-net-ssh:install-2.2-latest
\

rubygem-net-scp>=1.0.4:${PORTSDIR}/security/rubygem-net-scp:install-1.0-latest

The special "install-X.Y-latest" targets above would make sure that
the most recent available version of the dependency gem is installed.

Stay tuned!

Regards,
Greg
