I'm not sure whether this should be in the "sunrise" overlay or the main tree, but it's something that I'd like to see in Portage: rcodetools is a collection of Ruby code manipulation tools. It includes xmpfilter and editor-independent Ruby development helper tools, as well as emacs and vim interfaces. Currently, rcodetools comprises: * xmpfilter: automagic Test::Unit assertions/RSpec expectations and code annotations * rct-complete: 100% accurate (editor-independent) code completion * rct-doc: document browsing and code navigator * rct-meth-args: precise method info (meta-programming aware) and TAGS generation rcodetools includes and supersedes xmpfilter, which has been much improved and extended by rubikitch, ultimately resulting in the rct-* tools, which are almost entirely his work. See http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?rcodetools for further information. Download ======== rcodetools can be installed with RubyGems: gem install rcodetools If you try this shortly after a release and you get an old version/a 404 error, please allow some time until the packages propagate to RubyForge's mirrors. rcodetools is available in tarball format. rcodetools' executables will run faster when installed this way, since RubyGems add a noticeable overhead. Usage ===== rcodetools can be used with any editor, but the distribution includes emacs and vim interfaces (contributions for other editors are welcome); see README.emacs and README.vim in the sources for more information.

seems this request hasn't turned into an ebuild yet. If you want to help with it, it's not that hard to write one: http://devmanual.gentoo.org/quickstart/index.html If you need further help, feel free to ask on forums or #gentoo-dev-help or #gentoo-sunrise on irc (latter is also useful if you want to maintain the app yourself) note: we're not turning you down for this request in any way, it's just that we don't have ressources to fix all of them. though if you're willing to help, it would be more than nice to do so, as that is what we definately need :)
