# elruby

## Overview

The goal of this project is to provide multiple versions and installation methods of many MRI Rubies for Enterprise Linux (RHEL, CentOS, OEL, Scientific, etc)

## Options

### Replacements

These packages replace the system-provided Ruby. This means you'll be running a ruby stack from elruby. The packages are designed to be drop-in replacements on top of the system packages.

Upsides:

  * Everything is laid out as expected

  * Newer version of ruby available

Downsides:

  * All existing gem packages (like rubygem-whatever) may not function/install with all versions of ruby. This may mean rebuilding gem packages or just using `gem install`.

#### Yum Config

Ruby 1.9.3

    [elruby-replace-193]

    name="elruby replacement 1.9.3"

    baseurl="http://stahnma.fedorapeople.org/elruby/replacement/1.9.3/$releasever/$basearch/"

    enabled=1

    gpgcheck=0

### All in /opt

These packages place everything in `/opt`. This is ideal for running ruby application on EL. This package doesn't break out -devel, various bundled gems, etc. This works well for bundler, and other application setups. This also has many fewer EL specific pathces. It's really pretty close to `configure  && make  && make install` with an `/opt` prefix.

Upsides:

  * Simple package. One package.

Downsides:

  * Binaries not in `/usr/bin`.

  * Probably won't work with other RPMs unless built specifically for this package layout.

#### Yum Config

Ruby 1.9.3

    [elruby-opt-193]

    name="elruby all-in-opt 1.9.3"

    baseurl="http://stahnma.fedorapeople.org/elruby/all-in-opt/1.9.3/$releasever/$basearch/"

    enabled=1

    gpgcheck=0

 Ruby 2.0.0

    [elruby-opt-200]

    name="elruby all-in-opt 2.0.0"

    baseurl="http://stahnma.fedorapeople.org/elruby/all-in-opt/2.0.0/$releasever/$basearch/"

    enabled=1

    gpgcheck=0

### Side by side

These packages are desisgned to work side-by-side with the system-provided ruby. These are by far the most difficult packages to produce and therefore may lag behind the other types of packages. These are less tested as well.

Upsides:

  * Doesn't clobber system ruby.

  * Could potentially be included in EPEL someday.

Downsides:

  * bin files will be things like `/usr/bin/ruby19`

  * packages need to update dependencies etc

  * difficult to package and maintain

#### Yum Config

Ruby 1.9.3

_Still a work in progress._

## Bugs

If you happen to find bugs, please let me know. I'll attempt to fix them. File them at [http://github.com/stahnma/elruby/issues](http://github.com/stahnma/elruby/issues).

## Additional Packages

I imagine if people actually start using this, they'll want more packages built out with dependencies on these rubies. That's fine. You can file issues, or issue a pull request on elruby and I'll try to get those built out.

Long-term I'd love to have Jenkins setup for these builds. We'll see if that happens.

## Notes

Packages are not currently signed. They will be. That's on the list.

## License

Everything in elruby is Ruby license unless otherwise noted.
