I would like to request an ebuild for ruby-cups-1.2, a Ruby interface to the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS). I'm not very familiar with ruby ebuild (where they are supposed to install files, etc.) so I can't, at the moment, provide an ebuild myself. Maybe someone who's familiar with ruby ebuilds would be nice enough to provide an ebuild for this.
It seems that ruby-cups is buggy. The compilation went fine, but including CUPSbase resulted in a segmentation fault. irb(main):001:0> require "CUPSbase" /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/CUPSbase.so: [BUG] Segmentation faultruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [x86_64-linux] On the other side, irb(main):001:0> require "cups/CUPS" LoadError: no such file to load -- prt/CUPSbase
No progress here for 1 year; closing WONTFIX. Feel free to reopen with an ebuild.
