gem2deb is a set of tools to create Debian packages from Rubygems
The workflow looks like:
Download gem:
gem fetch foo
|
v
Create a tarball. It contains the gem spec as metadata.yml
gem2tgz foo-1.2.gem
|
v
Convert to a Debian source package with sane defaults:
dh-make-ruby foo-1.2.tar.gz
|
v
Modify, if needed
|
v
Build the package:
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
Alternatively, you can use the gem2deb command, that tries to do
everything automatically.
The generated Debian source package uses Debhelper with a specific build system
called "ruby". That buildsystem uses the dh_ruby tool for the various steps
(clean, build, test, install).
Building from source and testing this package:
==============================================
# install build-dependencies, look at the Build-Depends line
# in debian/control
# build the package
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
# install
sudo debi
# or simply: "rake install"
