Re: [PATCH] Add rake.

[Thompson, David]

[ Forgot to the CC the list.  Apologies for the duplicate email, Ricardo ]

Hi Ricardo,

Rake 10.4.2 comes with Ruby 2.2.3:

    $ guix environment --ad-hoc ruby -E "rake --version"
    rake, version 10.4.2

Is this for use with an older Ruby version?  If so, we should make
that explicit by altering the build system arguments.  This reminds me
that I need to submit a patch for my 'package-with-ruby' procedure
that behaves a lot like 'package-with-python2' but works with any Ruby
package object.

[PATCH] Add builder, rjb, antwrap, orderedhash, xml-simple, thor

Thanks for the hint!

To make up for this useless patch I’ve attached a patch set to add six
gems.

I’m currently trying to work my way up to “buildr”, which I might
be able to use to build the dependencies for “maven”, which is a
fundamental build tool for a large number of Java packages.

I know Emacs doesn't indent this right automatically, but it's
preferable to put those two symbols on the previous line.  The lambda
below should stay indented as-is.
