Description:

rpa-base is a port/package manager designed to handle the client-side package management of the Ruby Production Archive (RPA), a controlled repository of Ruby libraries and applications, managed by a dedicated team that will ensure consistency and proper QA.

You can think of it as RPA’s apt-get + dpkg, with a FreeBSD twist.

The associated repository contains over 145 packages as of 2004-11-17; you can read the full list at rpa-base.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.cgi?Packaged_Software

Several animations showing rpa-base in action can be found at rpa-base.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.cgi?Rpa_Base_In_Action

It features:

  • modular, extensible design with a 2 stage-install procedure
  • strong dependency management
  • atomic (de)installs
  • parallel installs
  • self-hosting: rpa-base installs and upgrades itself
  • installation of C extensions
  • rdoc/ri integration
  • unit tests run on install
