Debian & Gentoo installation instructions

I’m writing installation instructions for Ruby. I’d like to double
check my guesses for Debian and Gentoo with someone who actually
has those systems:

Gentoo: # emerge ruby
Debian: # apt-get ruby

Are these right?

Thanks.

I’m writing installation instructions for Ruby. I’d like to double
check my guesses for Debian and Gentoo with someone who actually
has those systems:

Gentoo: # emerge ruby
Debian: # apt-get ruby

apt-get install libruby-dev
apt-get install ruby-dev
apt-get install rubybook
apt-get install eruby

There are additional packages for various ruby libraries. You might consider
some of them standard but I’m not sure what the best default is.

On Gentoo

emerge ruby

will install ruby on your system.

emerge -s ruby

will search for the rest of the ruby packages available on gentoo.

The first step should be ‘emerge -p ruby’ (check if ruby is installed first, which happens if the user installs a package that depends on ruby)

To call me “awesome” is an understatement.

Sounds right, but I’m not the one to ask.

However, PLD could be added: poldek -i ruby

Does somebody working on a Ruby 1.8 ebuild, or does that
already exist?

OFF: According to the gentoo statistics, Ruby
is not particularly popular. Almost nobody emerges
Ruby :frowning:

I suppose that rubybook and eruby are optional. Right?

Portage being written in Python may be one of the reasons.

Several times I read on the forums that people new to programming and
using Gentoo want to learn Python so they can eventually help with the
development of Portage in the future.

Also note that not every user has installed the gentoo-stats package.

Yes.

For Debian:

Version: 1.6.7-3 (stable)
Version: 1.6.8-3 (unstable)

The ruby package from stable and unstable:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1), libruby (>= 1.6.8-3)
Suggests: ruby-examples, irb

To get the just ruby:

%apt-get install ruby

and it will also pull in the depedencies.
