1. Call `nix-build` with `--no-out-link` to avoid cluttering the source dir. 2. Re-add `patchShebangs`, since `buildCommand` doesn't imply a patch phase. (It was my fault to remove this in the first place, sorry!)

<para>There currently is support to bundle applications that are packaged as
|
|
Ruby gems. The utility "bundix" allows you to write a
|
|
<filename>Gemfile</filename>, let bundler create a
|
|
<filename>Gemfile.lock</filename>, and then convert this into a nix
|
|
expression that contains all Gem dependencies automatically.

<para>For example, to package sensu, we did:</para>

version = (import gemset).sensu.version;

<para>Please check in the <filename>Gemfile</filename>,

<para>For tools written in Ruby - i.e. where the desire is to install
|
|
a package and then execute e.g. <command>rake</command> at the command
|
|
line, there is an alternative builder called <literal>bundlerApp</literal>.
|
|
Set up the <filename>gemset.nix</filename> the same way, and then, for
|
|
example:

pname = "corundum";

|
|
|
|
<para>The chief advantage of <literal>bundlerApp</literal> over
|
|
<literal>bundlerEnv</literal> is the executables introduced in the
|
|
environment are precisely those selected in the <literal>exes</literal>
|
|
list, as opposed to <literal>bundlerEnv</literal> which adds all the
|
|
executables made available by gems in the gemset, which can mean e.g.
|
|
<command>rspec</command> or <command>rake</command> in unpredictable
|
|
versions available from various packages.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Resulting derivations for both builders also have two helpful
|
|
attributes, <literal>env</literal> and <literal>wrappedRuby</literal>.
|
|
The first one allows one to quickly drop into
|
|
<command>nix-shell</command> with the specified environment present.
|
|
E.g. <command>nix-shell -A sensu.env</command> would give you an
|
|
environment with Ruby preset so it has all the libraries necessary
|
|
for <literal>sensu</literal> in its paths. The second one can be
|
|
used to make derivations from custom Ruby scripts which have
|
|
<filename>Gemfile</filename>s with their dependencies specified. It is
|
|
a derivation with <command>ruby</command> wrapped so it can find all
|
|
the needed dependencies. For example, to make a derivation
|
|
<literal>my-script</literal> for a <filename>my-script.rb</filename>
|
|
(which should be placed in <filename>bin</filename>) you should run
|
|
<command>bundix</command> as specified above and then use
|
|
<literal>bundlerEnv</literal> like this:
