Name

ruby-single.eclass -- An eclass for Ruby packages not installed for multiple implementations.

Description

An eclass for packages which don't support being installed for multiple Ruby implementations. This mostly includes ruby-based scripts. Set USE_RUBY to include all the ruby targets that have been verified to work and include the eclass. RUBY_DEPS is now available to pull in the dependency on the requested ruby targets.

USE_RUBY="ruby27 ruby30"
inherit ruby-single
RDEPEND="${RUBY_DEPS}"

Supported EAPIs

4 5 6 7 8

Transitively Provided Eclasses

Variables

USE_RUBY (REQUIRED) (SET BEFORE INHERIT)

This variable contains a space separated list of targets (see above) a package is compatible to. It must be set before the

Warning:`

inherit' call. There is no default. All ebuilds are expected to set this variable.

Warning:

Inline interpreted text or phrase reference start-string without end-string.

RUBY_DEPS

This is an eclass-generated Ruby dependency string for all implementations listed in USE_RUBY. Any one of the supported ruby targets will satisfy this dependency. A dependency on virtual/rubygems is also added to ensure that this is installed in time for the package to use it.

Example use:

RDEPEND="${RUBY_DEPS}
  dev-foo/mydep"
BDEPEND="${RDEPEND}"

Example value:

|| ( dev-lang/ruby:3.0 dev-lang/ruby:2.7 ) virtual/rubygems

The order of dependencies will change over time to best match the current state of ruby targets, e.g. stable version first.
