Ruby Build
ruby-build es un sistema para descargar, compilar e instalar versiones específicas del lenguaje Ruby desde el código fuente en sistemas tipo Unix. Funciona como un compilador de fuentes e instalador de versiones que gestiona el despliegue de runtimes de Ruby sin depender de paquetes del sistema.
La herramienta admite la compilación personalizada de Ruby permitiendo la aplicación de parches al código fuente antes de que comience el proceso de compilación. También proporciona la capacidad de usar definiciones de construcción externas para versiones no incluidas por defecto.
El pipeline de instalación incluye verificación de integridad de paquetes usando checksums y la capacidad de redirigir descargas a servidores espejo. Estos procesos se orquestan a través de una serie de scripts de shell modulares para asegurar la compatibilidad entre sistemas operativos compatibles con POSIX.
