Sbopkg provides seamless package repository integration for Slackware

10-01-2008 01:00 PM
No Linux distribution can bundle every package that users might want, so most distros host software repositories from which users can download and install additional applications. Since 2006 Slackbuilds.org has served as a high-quality repository for Slackware users, but using it requires several steps and switching between a Web browser and a virtual terminal. Sbopkg is a new ncurses-based utility that helps users build packages from SlackBuilds.org and seamlessly integrates the repository with the operating system.

NAME
bundle-package - Package your needed .gem files into your application SYNOPSIS
bundle package DESCRIPTION
Copy all of the .gem files needed to run the application into the vendor/cache directory. In the future, when running bundle install(1) bundle-install.1.html, use the gems in the cache in preference to the ones on rubygems.org. GIT AND PATH GEMS
Since Bundler 1.2, the bundle package command can also package :git and :path dependencies besides .gem files. This needs to be explicitly enabled via the --all option. Once used, the --all option will be remembered. REMOTE FETCHING
By default, if you simply run bundle install(1) bundle-install.1.html after running bundle package(1) bundle-package.1.html, bundler will still connect to rubygems.org to check whether a platform-specific gem exists for any of the gems in vendor/cache. For instance, consider this Gemfile(5): source "https://rubygems.org" gem "nokogiri" If you run bundle package under C Ruby, bundler will retrieve the version of nokogiri for the "ruby" platform. If you deploy to JRuby and run bundle install, bundler is forced to check to see whether a "java" platformed nokogiri exists. Even though the nokogiri gem for the Ruby platform is technically acceptable on JRuby, it actually has a C extension that does not run on JRuby. As a result, bundler will, by default, still connect to rubygems.org to check whether it has a version of one of your gems more spe- cific to your platform. This problem is also not just limited to the "java" platform. A similar (common) problem can happen when developing on Windows and deploy- ing to Linux, or even when developing on OSX and deploying to Linux. If you know for sure that the gems packaged in vendor/cache are appropriate for the platform you are on, you can run bundle install --local to skip checking for more appropriate gems, and just use the ones in vendor/cache. One way to be sure that you have the right platformed versions of all your gems is to run bundle package on an identical machine and check in the gems. For instance, you can run bundle package on an identical staging box during your staging process, and check in the ven- dor/cache before deploying to production. March 2013 BUNDLE-PACKAGE(1)
