The definitions that use `require_gcc` are not compatible with Apple's
clang-powered `gcc` and need gcc-4.2 from Homebrew. However, builds
using gcc-4.2 fail on Yosemite with a warning:
couldn't understand kern.osversion `14.0.0'
Although the warning is non-fatal, the build goes to shit from there. It
seems that setting the magical value `MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9`
makes the build work and doesn't seem to have negative consequences.
The TMPDIR check implemented in a4556a73 incorrectly reports that
TMPDIR cannot hold executables on 4.3.11(1) on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.
This is because a script containing no commands returns a non-zero
exit code. Contrast the following:
bash 3.2.53(1) on OS X 10.9.5:
$ bash -c '' && echo SUCCESS
SUCCESS
bash 4.3.11(1) on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS:
$ bash -c '' || echo FAIL
FAIL
This patch modifies the test script to explicitly call `exit 0` to
ensure that a successful exit code is returned if the script executes
successfully.
On Fedora, this results in a nice "Fedora 19" identifier and doesn't
show the codename "Schrödinger’s Cat" which is otherwise contained in
`/etc/fedora-release`.
On Arch, this shows "Arch Linux" where previously we had no info for it
(for some reason, `/etc/arch-release` is empty).

Because ruby-build is both a Homebrew formula and an rbenv plugin, some
people end up with both installed. In these cases, executing
`rbenv install` vs. `ruby-build` might not use the same install. Users
end up being unsure where `rbenv install` is coming from and upgrading
it from the wrong location.
This detect whether ruby-build is contained in Homebrew or git and shows
upgrade instructions accordingly. Example:
See all available versions with \`rbenv install --list'.
If the version you need is missing, try upgrading ruby-build:
brew update && brew upgrade ruby-build
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
This detects when `/tmp` has been mounted with "noexec" mode and avoids
the cryptic error:
./configure: Permission denied
Hopefully the information provided will be enough for the user to know
that they have to change TMPDIR to another location.
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.
Since `./configure` executes in a bash subshell, it failing would
execute the ERR trap twice: once in a subshell and once in the main
process. An explicit `return 1` skips one of these ERR traps and fixes
double output.
I hope.

The `-v` option for tar has been here since the beginning of ruby-build,
but it's not really informative to see a list of files in the log as the
list of files is guaranteed to be the same across machines since we do
checksums.
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.
