.Dt RUBY-MODULE 5
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm ruby-module
.Nd lang/ruby port module
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the behavior of setting
.Ev MODULES Ns Li =lang/ruby
in the
.Xr ports 7
tree.
.Pp
The main usage of the lang/ruby module is to allow a single Ruby gem-based
port to build packages for multiple versions of Ruby.
The lang/ruby module also simplifies ports that depend on Ruby by
automatically setting up the correct dependencies and defining commonly
needed variables.
.Pp
To allow a single Ruby gem-based port to build packages for multiple versions
of Ruby, set a specific
.Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE ,
which modifies some additional parameters:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE Ns = Ns Qq ruby gem
For pure Ruby gems without C extensions.
This adds
.Ev PKG_ARCH
= * to the port.
.It Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE Ns = Ns Qq ruby gem ext
For Ruby gems with C extensions.
To pass additional arguments to
.Sy gem Cm install
when building the port, set
those via
.Ev CONFIGURE_ARGS .
.El
.Pp
.Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE Ns = Ns Qq ruby gem
and
.Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE Ns = Ns Qq ruby gem ext
both add ruby32, ruby33, and ruby34
.Ev FLAVOR Ns s
to the port.
They also cause the
.Ev FULLPKGNAME
to use the
.Ev FLAVOR Ns \-
instead of ruby\- as the package prefix.
.Pp
The ports system defaults to using Ruby 3.3 if the version of Ruby is not
specified.
To specify a version for a gem port, use a specific
.Ev FLAVOR ,
such as ruby34 to use Ruby 3.4.
To specify the Ruby version to use for a non Ruby-gem port, set
.Ev MODRUBY_REV
to 3.2, 3.3, or 3.4.
.Pp
To ensure that dependencies use the same Ruby implementation as the
current port, all Ruby gem dependencies specified in the port
should use this format:
.Pp
.Dl category/ruby\-foo,${MODRUBY_FLAVOR}
.Pp
To prevent the ports system from automatically setting up
.Ev FLAVOR Ns s
in a gem port, set
.Ev MODRUBY_HANDLE_FLAVORS
to
.Cm \&No .
Similarly, to let the ports system automatically set up
.Ev FLAVOR Ns s
in a non-gem port, set
.Ev MODRUBY_HANDLE_FLAVORS
to
.Cm Yes .
When
.Ev MODRUBY_HANDLE_FLAVORS
is
.Cm Yes ,
the ports system automatically adds the appropriate prefix to the
.Ev FULLPKGNAME
(e.g. ruby33\- for ruby 3.3, ruby34\- for ruby 3.4).
.Pp
For Ruby gem ports that can work on multiple Ruby versions, append
.Ev GEM_BIN_SUFFIX
to every binary file entry in the PLIST.
This is because the gem binaries for multiple Ruby versions are all
installed to
.Pa ${LOCALBASE}/bin ,
and the binaries all use a version-specific suffix.
Any man pages and other files that would be installed to locations not
specific to a Ruby implementation (such as under
.Pa ${LOCALBASE}/share ) ,
should use
.Ev GEM_MAN_SUFFIX
before the extension so the different
.Ev FLAVOR Ns s
do not conflict.
.Pp
make update\-plist may remove
.Ev GEM_BIN_SUFFIX
and
.Ev GEM_MAN_SUFFIX
from the PLIST, or use them in inappropriate places, so be careful when
updating gem ports with binaries or man pages.
Additionally, for gem ports with C extensions, make update\-plist will add back
files used by the specific
.Ev FLAVOR
(such as files under the extension source directory), which may
not exist for other
.Ev FLAVOR Ns s ,
so always manually check the result of make update\-plist and manually test that
all supported
.Ev FLAVOR Ns s
are buildable before committing.
Additionally, for gems with C extensions, make update\-plist may add back the
extension source files, which shouldn't be included in the files, so make sure
to double check that all files added by make update\-plist should be included
in the package.
.Pp
The lang/ruby module creates a do\-test target if
.Ev MODRUBY_TEST
is used and one is not already defined.
.Pp
The lang/ruby module appends to the following variables:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ev BUILD_DEPENDS
Adds dependency on version of Ruby in use unless
.Ev MODRUBY_BUILDDEP
is set to
.Cm \&No ,
or
.Ev NO_BUILD
is set to
.Cm Yes .
.It Ev CATEGORIES
Adds the lang/ruby category.
.It Ev RUN_DEPENDS
Adds dependency on version of Ruby in use unless
.Ev MODRUBY_RUNDEP

.Ev MODRUBY_TEST
is set to rspec3.
.It Ev SUBST_VARS

.Ev MODRUBY_SITEARCHDIR ,
.Ev MODRUBY_SITEDIR ,
.Ev MODRUBY_LIBREV ,
.Ev MODRUBY_ARCH ,
.Ev GEM_LIB ,
.Ev GEM_BIN ,
and
.Ev DISTNAME .
.It Ev UPDATE_PLIST_ARGS
Adds options so that
.Ev MODRUBY_RELEXAMPLEDIR ,
.Ev MODRUBY_SITEARCHDIR ,
.Ev MODRUBY_SITEDIR ,
.Ev GEM_LIB ,
and
.Ev GEM_BIN
are only substituted at the start of paths.
.El
.Pp
If using
.Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE Ns = Ns Qq ruby gem
or
.Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE Ns = Ns Qq ruby gem ext ,
it also appends to the following variables:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ev EXTRACT_CASES
Adds support for extracting .gem files.
.El
.Pp

.Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE Ns = Ns Qq ruby gem ext ,
it also appends to the following variables:

.It Ev WANTLIB
Adds libraries used by Ruby.
.It Ev LIB_DEPENDS
Adds
.Ev MODRUBY_LIB_DEPENDS .
.It Ev PKG_ARGS

rebuild them at runtime.
.It Ev SUBST_VARS
Adds
.Ev GEM_EXTENSIONS_DIR .
.El
.Pp
If using
.Ev MODRUBY_HANDLE_FLAVORS Ns = Ns Yes ,
it also appends to the following variables:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ev SUBST_VARS
Adds
.Ev GEM_BIN_SUFFIX
and
.Ev GEM_MAN_SUFFIX
to
.Ev SUBST_VARS
so that the PLISTs work on multiple Ruby versions.
