Re: [gentoo-user] Ruby Rails and Rake - strange error on Gentoo...
I have the exact same issue and as yet have been unable to solve it. My emerged versions are as follows: dev-lang/ruby-1.8.3 * dev-ruby/rubygems-0.8.11 * dev-ruby/activerecord-1.11.1 dev-ruby/activesupport-1.1.1-r2 * dev-ruby/rake-0.5.3 * dev-ruby/rails-0.13.1 * My error when running rake: /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rake.rb:658:in `private': undefined method `have_option?' for class `Object' (NameError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rake.rb:658 from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rake.rb:657 from /usr/bin/rake:3 If I find a solution I will post it.On 11/7/05, Steve [Gentoo] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've recently started playing around with Ruby and rails under Gentoo.I've installed everything using emerge as opposed to the using ruby gems.

Re: [gentoo-user] Question about Portage Update

There is nothing to complain about in what happened to you, it's just the expected behaviour if your system is x86 (read on for the details). I got comfortable with Ruby, and I now want to install Rails. I started with the typical 'emerge --sync' and found that the most recent version of Rails in Portage is 0.13.1. A lot of work has gone into Rails to get it to version 1.0.0, and that is the version I would like to install. Naturally, I would also like Portage to manage the installation over manually installing it. Yes, it's very simple. Create the file /etc/portage/package.keywords (if it doesn't exist already) and put the following lines in it: dev-ruby/rails ~x86 dev-ruby/activerecord ~x86 dev-ruby/activesupport ~x86 dev-ruby/actionmailer ~x86 dev-ruby/actionpack ~x86 dev-ruby/actionwebservice ~x86 Then try to reemerge rails and it shuld bring in version 1.0.0 (depending on your setup, it might be necessary to add a few other packages in /etc/portage/package.keywords). My main question has to do with about how Portage gets updated. Is there some central authority that updates the repository, or is it any user that is interested in making a Portage package? How often does software get updated (it seems like Ruby was pretty close to up-to-date, but Rails was a little behind). Is there any way that I can help update the package? Is there documentation for updating packages? And where would I find the 0.13.1 package source so that I have a base to work with? And then how wou submit the new package to the central repository? I suggest you read the handbook, part 2 and 3 to get the basics of how portage works, and in particular this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3chap=3 to learn about the different software branches gentoo provides (ie, x86 and ~x86 for the x86 architecture, sparc and ~sparc for the sparc, etc.). In short, the software you need *is* in portage, but is marked unstable (~x86). Unstable here does not necessarily mean that it doesn't work (in that case it would be marked -* or not keyworded at all for your arch), but simply that it has not received a sufficient amount of testing to be considered stable. Packages marked ~x86 usually work just fine. Some people even run their whole system in ~x86, by changing the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS variable in /etc/make.conf. HTH -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Update portage cache ... horribly slow
Paweł Madej schreef: My other question is if there is some script which could follow rrs from [1] and run emerge sync and emerge -uND world after there is for example 10 ebuild updated comparing to my system, or other way that it will email me that there is 10 ebuilds new and i should run sync manually. Well, esync might be what you want-- it's part of gentoolkit, and while it won't do any emerges for you, it will display (or mail you, which is how I do it) the list of updated packages for the day, with a note as to whether the package is an upgrade for your system, new to your system, or the like. Here's an example of the daily mail I get when I run esync as a cron job and mail myself the output:* Importing old portage tree * Doing '/usr/bin/emerge sync' now * Doing 'eupdatedb' now * esearch-index generated in 4 minute(s) and 23 second(s) * indexed 10357 ebuilds * size of esearch-index: 1618 kB * Importing new portage tree * Preparing databases * Searching for changes [ N] dev-ruby/activesupport (1.1.1-r1): Utility Classes and Extension to the Standard Library [MN] net-libs/aqbanking (1.6.0_beta): Generic Online Banking Interface [MN] media-sound/ardour (0.99): multi-track hard disk recording software [ N] mail-filter/clamsmtp (1.5): ClamSMTP is an SMTP filter that allows you to check for viruses using the ClamAV anti-virus software.

Nothing else interesting to me on this particular list. I suppose if you really felt that you wanted to have an emerge of the new packages done automatically, you could always create a script to run esync and mail you the output, then run emerge -uD world after esync completed successfully (doesn't seem much point in using --newuse if you're not going to be there to look at the output), but I prefer to do my emerges manually.
