If JIT support is built in to ruby, there's no choice other then to
leave this cc reference as is. removeReferencesToCC didn't do it's job
completely since some time ago. That's why it was practically redundant
- `lib/ruby/${version}/<platform>/rbconfig.rb` still referenced cc.
Removing this reference from
`lib/ruby/${version}/<platform>/rbconfig.rb` as well might lead to
breakage in some Gems that require this feature.
But, if JIT support is not desired, it should be safe enough to
completely remove all cc references, both in
lib/ruby/${version}/<platform>/rbconfig.rb and in $out/lib/libruby.so .
Hence now `rubyMinimal` has JIT support disabled and it has no
references at all to stdenv.cc.
ext/io/console/io-console.gemspec was embedding a timestamp which made
the build not reproducible. Gems respect SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH so it's
enough to just delete that line if it exists.
This file has been fixed in
679a941d05 (diff-d8422f096931c58d4463e2489f62a228b0f24f0492950ba88c8c89a0d741cfe6)
And then ruby regularly merges that gem into their own repository. Ruby
master is fixed but none of the ruby releases have been fixed yet.
lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/specifications/default/io-console-0.4.7.gemspec now
contains:
s.date = "1980-01-01"
This reverts commit c778945806.
I believe this is exactly what brings the staging branch into
the right shape after the last merge from master (through staging-next);
otherwise part of staging changes would be lost
(due to being already reachable from master but reverted).
According to https://endoflife.software/programming-languages/server-side-scripting/ruby
ruby 2.4 will go end-of-life in march, where the new release of nixpkgs
will be cut. We won't be able to support it for security updates.
Remove all references to ruby_2_4 and add ruby_2_7 instead where
missing.
Mark packages that depend on ruby 2.4 as broken:
* chefdk
* sonic-pi
Now that RI docs are installed to a seperate output, we don't need to worry
about bloating the main output, so it's reasonable for this to be enabled by
default.
This allows getting access to Ruby documentation through ri by doing
nix-shell -p ruby ruby.devdoc
or by installing the ruby.devdoc package.
A setup hook will add a shim to LOAD_PATH to point ri to the devdoc
output instead of out.
Rather than rolling our own. This means that we can use all of the
extra functionality stdenv gives us, like being able to provide a list
of patches rather than just one.
