We are frequently packaging all gems in the gem-list on our jenkins instance. Results end up on http:https://pulp.inuits.eu/pulp/repos/rubygems/

Package are build on CentOS Boxen.

You can modify certain parameters by exporting these environment variables before running the script:

• GEM_PREFIX

  Translates into fpm's --gem-prefix argument.
  Defaults to /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8.

• GEM_BIN_PATH

  Translates into fpm's --gem-bin-path argument.
  Defaults to /usr/bin.

• TARGET

  File containing list of gems to build. You can also override this by providing the filename as an argument to the script.
  Defaults to gem-list.

export GEM_PREFIX=/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
./build-gems

./build-gems minimal

# This is the same as
export TARGET=minimal
./build-gems

Each line is formatted in the following way:

<gem name>:[version]:[''|arch]:[extra fpm options]

• <gem name>: is a required option (</captain obvious>).
• [version]: optional specific version to build. Defaults to the latest 'stable' release if not specified.
• [arch]: optional 'arch'. Leave this empty or put 'arch' to indicate this builds is architecture specific.
• [extra fpm options]: Can be used to specify dependencies manually.

Lines starting with # are ignored.
