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
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 ofruby-install
are affected by it and seeing a connection between the 2 projects would probably save people time when they realizetruffleruby
cannot be installed using--system
.Note: I only became aware of this problem after I noticed
truffleruby
was supported, see below:and later I tried to install
truffleruby
in a container
