Files in /pub/skunkware/osr6/vols/Ruby/ are cpio archives of media
images of Ruby related packages suitable for installation with the
SCO Software Manager (/etc/custom). These packages have been developed
and tested on SCO OpenServer 6 with Maintenance Pack 3.

First install the ruby package (currently ruby-1.8.6Sg-VOLS.cpio)
then rubygems (currently rubygems-0.9.4Sc-VOLS.cpio).

Rails development and deployment can then be accomplished by
installing the rails package (currently rails-1.2.5Sc-VOLS.cpio).
Rails application deployment can be facilitated with the use of
Capistrano (capistrano-2.1.0Sb-VOLS.cpio) and the rails plugin tool
Rapt (rapt-0.2.2Sc-VOLS.cpio).

After installing ruby and rubygems the remaining packages have the
following dependencies:

FXRuby			depends on		fox and fxscintilla
RMagick			depends on		ImageMagick
erubis			depends on		abstract
fxscintilla		depends on		fox
kdevelop		depends on		KDE3 (Maintenance Pack 3)
modruby			depends on		Apache (Maintenance Pack 3)
mongrel			depends on		fastthread
rubygtk2		depends on		gwxlibs (Maintenance Pack 3)
rubypgsql		depends on		pgsql (Maintenance Pack 3)
rubysqlite3		depends on		sqlite3
typo			depends on		sqlite3
wxGTK			depends on		gwxlibs (Maintenance Pack 3)
wxruby			depends on		wxGTK

Several of these packages use "gem install" to download and install the
appropriate Ruby Gem(s). This requires network connectivity. The following
packages use this method of installaton:

abstract capistrano erubis flexmock instiki nitro rails rake rapt
rubypgsql rubysqlite3 typo

Most, if not all, of the Ruby related packages a typical server will need
should be found here. If additional packages are required then either:
	- email skunkware@sco.com with your requirement(s)
or
	- install the appropriate Ruby Gem(s)
		# gem install <gem-name>
	  a list of available gems at the remote repositories can be listed
		# gem list -r
	  or, a list of gems starting with <STRING> can be listed
		# gem list <STRING> -r

KDevelop includes an integrated development environment (IDE) for Ruby.
Currently KDevelop 3.3.6 is included here (kdevelop-3.3.6Sc-VOLS.cpio).
This version requires the installation of Maintenance Pack 3 for OpenServer 6
and KDE3 3.5.6 from CD2 of Maintenance Pack 3.
