Arch Linux

Updated for pacman 4.1 (different svn package handling) and added check().
I commented the "make install-docs" out. Uncomment if you need it.
(50 vs 250 MB)

check() is disabled by default.
Currently (revision 40217) I had these problems:
An error for test 1957 (test_make_socket_ipv6_multicast(Rinda::TestRingServer))
and test 7190 is skipped (test_capture_subprocess_io, "Dunno why but the parallel run of this fails")

Current version name is 2.1.0dev.

FYI: This package is now in https://github.com/JonnyJD/PKGBUILDs

set or reset the pkgver in the PKGBUILD and do

makepkg --holdver

This will keep makepkg from automatically fetching the newest revision.

sorry for the n00b question, but how exactly do I choose the svn revision which I want to compile? I'm reading the documentation, but I can't make anything useful out of it... TIA

This is the reason one has to use this unstable svn trunk:
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2762

There is no backport yet for 1.9.1 and I couldn't find out which revision does the actual fix.

Well somewhere in the comments that got lost (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=93752) there was a list of working revisions.
This is real production code, not a stable trunk. 26652 works though and is necessary for a bugfix of http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28864 (rubyripper)

note: in my experience there are actually a lot more failing revisions than working ones. When somebody gets later revisions working, please tell in the comments. Thanks.

ruby-svn version 27080 (March 29 2010) fails to compile with the following error:


In file included from ./include/ruby/ruby.h:1302,
from random.c:198:
./include/ruby/missing.h:164: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘va_list’
./include/ruby/missing.h:164: error: conflicting types for ‘vsnprintf’
make: *** [random.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...



what gives? TIA...
