Hello,
I'm working on building a rubygems .deb package which isn't as
invasively patched as the standard Debian/Ubuntu one for automated
deployment stuff I'm working on.
My issue is that to avoid some of the hacking of post_install.rb that
needed to be done to get the sources gem built I want to pass another
option in to setup.rb and pull that value out later.
The setup.rb docs say to use metaconfig and a call to add_path_config
within that. This I've done:
add_path_config 'gem_install_root', '', 'Path to root of build
"filesystem"'
However, when setup.rb gets run by the packaging makefile I get this
error:
/usr/bin/ruby1.8 setup.rb config --siterubyver=/usr/lib/ruby/1.8
setup.rb:100:in `push': can't modify frozen array (TypeError)
from setup.rb:100:in `add'
from setup.rb:508:in `add_path_config'
from /home/matt/sandbox/packages/libgems-ruby-0.9.4/
metaconfig:1:in `load_script'
from setup.rb:831:in `run_metaconfigs'
from setup.rb:807:in `invoke'
from setup.rb:773:in `invoke'
from setup.rb:1578
I know it's not a rubygems problem per se, but I was hoping someone
would have some insight here, since it's rubygem's setup.rb...
I'm utterly baffled how metaconfig could EVER work, since the call to
freeze the array in question happens before metaconfig is even read
in...
My working hypothesis is that I'm being stupid...
Thanks,
Matt
