System properties to set bindir and default rubygems paths
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-4729
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4729
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.5
Environment: jruby 1.5.0.RC1 (ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 249) (2010-04-17
0ce95cb) (Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM 1.6.0_19) [i386-java]
Reporter: David Kellum
Assignee: Thomas E Enebo
Problem statement: In MRI, RbConfig::CONFIG can be customized during the build
configuration. JRuby doesn't have an equivalent opportunity. Rubygems also has
baked in defaults, gemrc config files, and environment variables
GEM_HOME/GEM_PATH, but the former is not configurable by an installer, and the
config files/environment variables are shared with MRI rubygems, so its not
possible to have JRuby specific settings.
Feature request: For a more customized, system-wide installation, it would be
nice if bindir and the default rubygems HOME and PATH could initially be set
via system properties. In particular, the following proprieties would override
or take the place of existing defaults if found:
{noformat}
jruby.bindir --> RbConfig::CONFIG['bindir']
(jruby.script --> RbConfig::CONFIG['ruby_install_name'])
jruby.gem.path --> Gem.default_path
jruby.gem.dir --> Gem.default_dir
{noformat}
I have implemented this enhancement and will provide patches shortly.
