Petition for raa-install to be included in 1.8

Similar to the YamlInRuby petition which has now closed.

I just looked again, and remember why I don’t know anything about
raa-install: it doesn’t have a link to any docs on its RAA page.

So, it goes to my look at later pile, which is very large.

I’ll get to it one day, though.

Cheers,
Sam

You can find a tutorial on using raa-install (as well as its API) at:

http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?QuickGuideToRaaInstall

It’s really simple. Nothin to it.

That would be a good link for the RAA doc link, then.

Just in case you needed some encouragement to vote for raa-install,
raa-install is now capable of installing from any url not just
packages that are on the RAA.

It will actually install most ./configure style tar.gzs too. For
example a ruby preview:

raa-install -u ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.0-preview2.tar.gz

The latest stable version can of course be installed as follows:

raa-install -i ruby

I have read the quick guide and I cannot find anything about uninstalling.
I consider packaging system that cannot track which files belong to what and
eventually uninstall them incomplete.
On the other hand, even incomplete system may be better than nothing.

I want to use threads to do one process and also wait on any keyboard
input.

The sample of code I’ve included blocks indefinately.

I’d appreciate a bit of help.

The program ought to print out START every second except when something
is entered by the keyboard then that should be printed till the next
keyboard entry. But it just hangs up.

$g = “START\n”

s1 = Thread.new {

    loop

{

            sleep(2)

            $g

= gets

    }

}

s2 = Thread.new {

    loop

{

            sleep(1)

            print

$g

    }

}

s1.join

s2.join

Thanks

Yes, it’s incomplete. But in the case of developing an equivilent to CPAN
I saw the perfect being the enemy of the good with regard to getting it
rolled out.

I made the deliberate compromise to make it work without requiring
software to be re-packaged (and so work with the majority of packages on
RAA with no modification).

Uninstall and dependency tracking are the two biggest features missing.
You would be more than welcome to get CVS access to implement them :slight_smile:

Turn right here. No! NO! The OTHER right!

$stdout.sync = true

  • at the top to prevent your output hiding in a buffer.

Here, the ‘$g = gets’ in s1 stops the s2 thread until fed.

One way to do it on Un*x would be setting up a chroot and installing
there (unfortunately needs root). Then you get the list of files and
copy them to their final destination.
