Bug 551432 – app-eselect/eselect-ruby should check RUBY_TARGETS

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hans de Graaff 2015-06-07 09:50:12 UTC]

eselecting a ruby version that is not also listed in RUBY_TARGETS is not a good idea in general. eselect-ruby should check this. Several options come to mind:

1) only show ruby versions listed in RUBY_TARGETS and perhaps add a second set command to override this

2) give a warning when such a ruby version is eselected and show status with the list command

I'm in favor of option 2).
Maybe we can add some pkg_postinst message, via our ruby eclasses, that notifies the user about this issue.

Where is RUBY_TARGETS set, if there is not a setting in /etc/make.conf?

I thought about something like that:

all_ruby_fakegem_pkg-postinst() {
    if [[ ${RUBY_TARGETS} =~ .*${RUBY}.* ]]; then
       ewarn "Your currently eselected ruby is not included in your current RUBY_TARGETS" 
    fi  

}
