the optparse ebuild contains the following: src_install () { insinto /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6 doins optparse.rb insinto /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/optparse doins optparse/* This would seem to hard code it to ruby version 1.6 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Maybe this could be fixed by running: RB_DIR=`ruby -e 'require "rbconfig"; puts Config::CONFIG["sitelibdir"]'` and insinto RB_DIR
ruby-1.8 includes optparse feature by default, so it is not necessary to install it on ruby 1.8 and above. By the way, I suggest that both optparse (under ruby-1.6) and ruby-1.8 include PROVIDE="virtual/optparse" so that ruby packages which depend on optparse could use optparse + ruby-1.6 or ruby-1.8 built-in optparse. At this moment, you are force to install optparse ebuild regardless of the version of ruby when you want to install packages depending on optparse ;-(
We have the same problem with rexml, racc, yaml, and runit. I've known about it for a while, but held off fixing it until a newer version of ruby 1.8.0 is release (pre3 is due in a few weeks). Looks like it's time for me to create some virtuals!
Now in CVS -- ~masked and package.masked. Please test it because I can't (I'm using ruby-cvs-1.8.0 and don't want to trash my installation just to test this one package). to test: emerge /usr/portage/dev-ruby/optparse/optparse-0.12.ebuild Report success/failure here and I'll unmask it. Thanks, Tom
optparse-0.12.ebuild will install optparse into /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby instead of /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6 -- is it desired behaviour? I think it should be installed to /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6 if you use ruby-1.6, and adding the flag --destdir=`ruby -r rbconfig -e "puts Config::CONFIG['sitelibdir']"` to ruby install.rb will do the job. regards, Mamoru KOMACHI aka usata
Thanks for the feedback. The optparse installer seems to want to place the files in /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby rather than /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.?. The relevant line from the ebuild is: ruby install.rb --prefix=${D} --man-install=/usr/share/man --doc-install=/usr/share/doc/$ {PF} If optparse-0.12 works as-is (i.e. ruby 1.6 finds optparse.rb in /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby) then let's stick with that (it's the way the package author intended it!). If it doesn't work then I'll change the ebuild. Thanks, Tom
