I am posting this about fifth time, still not seeing it on the list.
Hopefully it will get there this time and no duplicates show up later.
I have this problem:
-there are two usable versions of ruby in fink
-ruby 1.6.8
-ruby 1.8.0
-there is an application (freeride) that works with either version but
it needs two extensions to the interpreter
-fxruby
-ripper
The extensions are packaged for both versions of interpreter
ripper-ruby16, ripper-ruby18, fxruby-ruby16, fxruby-ruby18
The interpreters have packages
ruby16, splitoff ruby 1.6.8, ruby18, splitoff ruby 1.8.0
Each splitoff contains a link /sw/bin/ruby that points to ruby1.6 or ruby1.8.
So installing ruby-1.6.8-2 makes ruby1.6 the default interpreter named just ruby.
Now the application needs that the default interpreter ruby has both extensions.
to show some possible configurations that do not work:
ruby16 + ruby18 + ruby 1.8.0 + ripper-ruby16 + fxruby-ruby18 + freeride
ruby16 + ruby18 + ruby 1.8.0 + ripper-ruby16 + fxruby-ruby16 + freeride
This means that just Provides: fxruby or Depends: fxruby-ruby16 | fxruby-ruby18,...
is not enough to make fink install the correct packages.
So I made ripper-ruby16 0.0.5-2 that has a splitoff ripper 0.0.5-2-16,
ripper-ruby18 with splitoff ripper 0.0.5-2-18, etc.
Now there are two objections from the person who looked at it:
- dash in revision is illegal - can be simply replaced with something else
- these splitoffs do not look quite right
So i would like to know what is the right solution.
thanks
