Track TruffleRuby FHS issue #398

Closed missingcharacter closed 3 years ago

missingcharacter commented 3 years ago

The issue I'm talking about is https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby/issues/1389 and the reason I think this issue should be linked to this project is truffleruby cannot be currently installed using --system (/usr/local), even when the issue is not something this project will fix users of ruby-install are affected by it and seeing a connection between the 2 projects would probably save people time when they realize truffleruby cannot be installed using --system.

Note: I only became aware of this problem after I noticed truffleruby was supported, see below:

ruby-install --latest
>>> Downloading latest ruby versions ...
>>> Downloading latest jruby versions ...
>>> Downloading latest rbx versions ...
>>> Downloading latest truffleruby versions ...
>>> Downloading latest truffleruby-graalvm versions ...
>>> Downloading latest mruby versions ...
Stable ruby versions:
  ruby:
    2.6.7
    2.7.3
    3.0.1
  jruby:
    9.2.16.0
  rbx:
    5.0
  truffleruby:
    21.0.0
  truffleruby-graalvm:
    21.0.0
  mruby:
    2.1.2

and later I tried to install truffleruby in a container

Maybe ruby-install should warn or error when trying to install truffleruby with --system?

I wouldn't bet on https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby/issues/1389 being solved very soon, it's a large effort for what seems a fairly low gain, most rubyists already install Rubies in their own directory and not randomly mix them with system files (which feels like it always causes more problems than it solves).

@eregon and @postmodern what do you think of this? https://github.com/postmodern/ruby-install/pull/401
