Stable releases should now be sorted as a higher version than preview
releases or RCs. For instance:
- 1.9.3-preview < 1.9.3-rc1 < 1.9.3-p0
- 2.1.0-dev < 2.1.0-rc1 < 2.1.0
- jruby-1.7.0-preview1 < jruby-1.7.0-rc1 < jruby-1.7.0
It appears that regular `make` that ships on FreeBSD 10 is compatible
enough to build Rubies. This enables ruby-build on fresh FreeBSD
installs (which don't have `gmake` by default) without having to
explicitly set `MAKE=make`.
The build definitions auto-discovered from rbenv plugins would
previously not appear in `--list` results due to discovery process
taking place too late.
But don't assume that RUBY_BUILD_ROOT is where ruby-build's own files
reside, since RUBY_BUILD_ROOT can be overriden with alternate definition
files location.
Filenames in git diff patches are prefixed by default by "a/" (source)
and "b/" destination. Such patches don't work with ruby-builds `--patch`
option since it internally uses `patch -p0`.
Prior workarounds were to use either an intermediate step:
filterdiff --strip=1
or to generate the patch without the prefix in the first place:
git diff --no-prefix ...
Now, git diff patches are detected by searching for this pattern:
diff --git a/...
And `patch -p1` is used by default in such cases to strip the 1st
component of filename paths.

From patch(1):
-f or --force
Assume that the user knows exactly what he or she is doing, and do not
ask any questions. Skip patches whose headers do not say which file is
to be patched; patch files even though they have the wrong version for
the Prereq: line in the patch; and assume that patches are not reversed
even if they look like they are. This option does not suppress commen-
tary; use -s for that.
Fixes#555
Seems like sed 4.1.5 on RHEL 5.3 doesn't support `-E`, and sed on OS X doesn't
support `-r` to activate the extended regexp mode. Best to avoid extended regexp
altogether for compatibility.
Fixes#495
If there already exists a valid tarball in the build location, e.g. as
artefact of a previous install using `--keep`, don't re-download the
file, as there is no need.
References #487
Previously, curl and wget were instructed to try to resume the download
if the destination file already exists. This is supposed to be done via
the "Range" HTTP header, but doesn't work well with CloudFront:
HTTP server doesn't seem to support byte ranges. Cannot resume.
CloudFront is supposed to support ranges, so I don't know what's going
on here. It might be failing only in case the existing file is a fully
downloaded tarball?
In any case, this disables resuming downloads and resorts to simply
re-downloading the tarball always, overwriting the existing file.
Fixes#487
I thought this was not necessary, but a number of people had problems
when linking to OS X's "readline" (actually Editline wrapper):
- Some components of Pry wouldn't work
- Writing literal Unicode characters was not possible #379
- The compilation would downright fail in some cases #82#461Fixes#461
If `-p|--patch` flag was set while invoking `ruby-build` or
`rbenv install`, ruby-build will use `patch -p0 -i -` to apply a patch
from stdin to Ruby, Rubinius, or JRuby source code before running the
rest of `build_package_*` commands.
