Hi all
Running `guix environment --ad-hoc ruby-ansi` fails for me (and
others). The package definition uses the ruby-build-system but fetches
the tar.gz directly from github instead of from rubygems. I'll try and
find time to have a closer look, but if Ricardo has any time, he might
be able to debug it faster than me.
I think this the error is very similar to that described here, and
occurs during 'gem install'
https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues/1448
which is fixed in rubygems 2.5.2. Today a new version of ruby was
released, but sadly, comes with rubygems 2.5.1. So, I think this means
we will need to either incorporate the patch(es) that fix this into the
ruby package, or package rubygems alongside ruby somehow. Or, since
there is only a problem during build time, perhaps clobber the gem from
the ruby package with a rubygems package during build time. Unless you
have any better ideas?
Thanks for reporting this.
