ok, what is going on here. :P
did you break ondina? :D
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
IIRC you said you've used rbenv && ruby-build, right?
jrg
jrg
i've used it once, yeah
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
ah, only once
jrg
jrg
however, i know the basic idea behind it, and i know why people use it.
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
I'm trying to cut down on the time it takes to build a new shim for rbenv
Stefano Palazzo
Stefano Palazzo
20:51
:D
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
My initial thought was to just have a central build area and copy completed builds into the versions directory - then rehash
jrg
jrg
hm. i see
but that isn't going to work is it.
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
but that doesn't seem to work - do you have any fun ideas how to make building faster?
jrg
jrg
idk.
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
Ah okay, was worth a shot <3
jrg
jrg
20:52
let me implode rvm and look at rbenvs innards.
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
that would be awesome
Stefano Palazzo
Stefano Palazzo
(in case it matters later, you can override the arguments for "make" by setting $MAKEOPTS, which might be useful to trick make into using something pre-build, or something)
jrg
jrg
@MarcoCeppi is ruby-build required?
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
It's being used currently

jrg
jrg
21:18
ok, can't get rbenv working locally for some reason
oh ok, was adding $PATH to the wrong place
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
21:31
We talked about this for a bit, it would be excellent if setting up a new version of ruby was quick on a per account basis. Otherwise the user will get a message like "Oh, hey - we're building this stupid ruby version. Wait lyke 5mins <3"
jrg
jrg
heres an idea
when you make a new user, you copy from etc/skeleton (or whatever it is) right?
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
correct
/etc/skel
jrg
jrg
just supply 1.8.7 and 1.9.2 by default
thats about all people are going to use until 2.0rc
Stefano Palazzo
Stefano Palazzo
if you look inside these definition files,
github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build/blob/master/share/ruby-build/…
that's where you could attack the makefiles
I suppose
jrg
jrg
21:48
so you're suggesting having a fork of rbenv?
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
we already have one
Stefano Palazzo
Stefano Palazzo
not totally: but I wonder whether make is supposed to not compile stuff that is already compiled?
in any case, rather than actually having "make" in the makefile, it could just copy pre-build binaries
you can also get additional arguments to make by setting an environment variable. $MAKEOPTS
jrg
jrg
good idea.
Stefano Palazzo
Stefano Palazzo
so, maybe, you could use that exit make prematurely, then run "tar -x stuff; ruby-build", instead of plain "ruby-build"
jrg
jrg
well, thats rbenv
there are two tools - rbenv, and then ruby-build
Stefano Palazzo
Stefano Palazzo
21:53
you mean rbenv is actually doing the make?
jrg
jrg
Install Ruby versions into ~/.rbenv/versions. For example, to install Ruby 1.9.2-p290, download and unpack the source, then run:

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/.rbenv/versions/1.9.2-p290
$ make
$ make install
whereas what ruby-build does is provide rbenv-build
Stefano Palazzo
Stefano Palazzo
oh
jrg
jrg
and then you can do rbenv-build install 1.9.2p290
Stefano Palazzo
Stefano Palazzo
yeah I get the picture now
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
Iv'e been doing rbenv install (using the ruby-build plugin for rbenv)
jrg
jrg
21:57
so what i think could work is have a script that copies a pre-built ruby from somewhere into $HOME/.rbenv/versions
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
@jrg I've done that, and it recognizes the version in rbenv versions
but when I select it with global, etc
it won't resepect it
jrg
jrg
oh...
Marco Ceppi
Marco Ceppi
though I might have done something wrong
I'm about to head home - so I'll take another stab at it
