Re: Bundled Buildr + JRuby distribution
Any plans on making the distribution available in the site? Maybe using --fast to run jruby and jrubyc to precompile all ruby files? Thanks Ittay Alex Boisvert wrote: Hi, I've created an experimental distribution of Buildr 1.3.5 and JRuby 1.4.0 and made it available at: http://people.apache.org/~boisvert/buildr-1.3.5-jruby-1.4.0.zip The distro is 15M -- not too bad. I've trimmed the packaged JRuby of everything I could that didn't affect functionality, such as documentation and Ruby 1.9 support. To use it, simply 1) unzip in a directory, 2) set your PATH to point to the bin directory, and 3) run buildr as usual. Looking for feedback on how it works as a quick way to get yourself/other people started. If there's enough interest, it could become part of our supported distros. thanks, alex
Re: Bundled Buildr + JRuby distribution
Hi Ittay, I'm unclear as to whether we'll be able to distribute it on the Apache site. We'll need to review the license on all packaged software against Apache policies. My intention is definitely to synchronize the release of the all-in-one JRuby distribution with the official Apache Buildr release and worse case, distribute it via separate channels and link to it from our site -- not unlike what we do with RubyForge/GemCutter. If you have suggestions, I'm all ears. alex On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 12:37 AM, Ittay Dror ittay.d...@gmail.com wrote: Any plans on making the distribution available in the site?

rjb-1.1.9 does not build on Windows with JDK in default location
I just went through an unpleasant two hours trying to get buildr to install on Windows. May I make two suggestions to improve your Installing on Windows section at http://buildr.apache.org/installing.html ? 1. Installing the Ruby one-click installer is not enough, you also need the devkit so you have a compiler and make. The devkit is a 7zip file available on the same page as the one-click installer. You just extract it to your Ruby directory and make sure the paths in devkit/msys/1.0.11/etc/fstab are accurate. 2. The version rjb-1.1.9 required by buildr-1.3.5 does not build when your JAVA_HOME has spaces in the path. The default install location is in C:/Program Files, which means rjb will not build. rjb-1.2.0 works, so please either release an updated buildr gem that works with this fixed version of rjb or suggest a work-around of installing the JDK to a non-default location with no spaces in the path. Thanks, -- Will

Hi Will, Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm sure it will be useful to others.

Ok, we'll upgrade to rjb-1.2.0 for Buildr 1.4.0 so this shouldn't be an issue in the future. http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-356 alex

Could be one of the gems was in the switchover from Rubyforge to Gemcutter? The latest versions of the Ruby one click installer are compiled with mingw, not msvc6, and I believe that means they are not binary compatible with -mswin32 gems. Rubygems selects the basic all-platforms gems with this build of Ruby.

We'll need to review the license on all packaged software against Apache policies. Official Apache releases are source code and have to be clear of any licensing issues. There's more flexibility with convenience binary downloads (that are not official releases), as long as they don't cause any licensing violations and people won't get them confused with official releases.

I think they're just using a different platform identifier, because their suggestion is: gem install --platform=mswin32 http://wiki.github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/gem-list Could be targeted with a specific Buildr gem that's identical to -mswin32 but has the proper platform identifier to match one-click installer.
