Open Source Ruby Software Distribution Software

Zero Install is a decentralised cross-distribution software installation system. Create one package that works everywhere! With dependency handling and automatic updates, full support for shared libraries, and integration with native package managers

Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t. Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local. Homebrew won’t install files outside its prefix and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like. Trivially create your own Homebrew packages. It’s all Git and Ruby underneath, so hack away with the knowledge that you can easily revert your modifications and merge upstream updates. Homebrew formulae are simple Ruby scripts. Homebrew complements macOS (or your Linux system). Install your RubyGems with gem and their dependencies with brew. Homebrew Cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins and other non-open source software. Making a cask is as simple as creating a formula.

RubyScript2Exe transforms your Ruby script into a standalone Windows or Linux executable. You can look at it as a "compiler", for it collects all necessary files to run your script on an other machine.

Locomotive is a Cocoa GUI application that simplifies the process of developing Ruby on Rails applications on Mac OS X 10.4

Tar2RubyScript transforms a directory, containing your application into one single Ruby script, along with some code to handle this archive. When this script is run, it extracts the archive and runs the application.

Alindis - A GNU/Linux Distribution was to be a comprehensive guide leading the reader from zero to his/her own GNU/Linux distribution. This is now a dead project. -- Felix

A collection of programs written mainly for education *my own*, and system maintenance. A few games sometime soon also

AllInOneRuby creates an Windows or Linux executable that includes both the Ruby interpreter and the runtime libraries. Why? Because it's sometimes not easy, or allowed to do a complete Ruby installation. That's where AllInOneRuby comes in.

Remoteable Package Database, Job Scheduler and Frontend for the Gentoo-Portage System. <br/> Provides tools for evaluation,parsing and creating ebuilds. Written in ruby18 with sqlite,soapr4 and gtk.

Lucie enables parallel network installation of large numbers of nodes from one single administration server. It is designed to be scalable and efficient, so a complete Linux cluster can be built from scratch in a short amount of time.

RDI is a library that gives your application the ability to install its dependencies at runtime. Perfect for plugins oriented architectures. Many kind of deps: RPMs, DEBs, .so, .dll, RubyGems... Easily extensible to new kinds.

Ruby text-based router search designed to query Cisco 72xx and 10k Routers for Cable modem and CPE information. It is designed to work both on UNIX and NT enviroments. Requirement is the Ruby language interpreter.

RubyGems is a system used to package other Ruby libraries into single, self-contained files that also contain metadata about the library, such as name, category, dependencies, etc.

Make system based on Ruby. Crossplatform interface for compilation, assemblages, software packings. SCons / AAP replacement.

TSC Package Manager is a mutli-platform generic Ruby based package preparation and installation facility. Sub-packages are self-extracting well-compressed files that may be installed, removed, updated or patched. Well suited for non-root installations. Moved to: https://github.com/tsc-collection/tsc-tpm Now part of GitHub's TSC Collection available at https://github.com/tsc-collection

A software distribution based on Debian/Linux to provide network diagnostics, security monitoring and intrusion detection. The distribution can be easily installed by office personnell.

The FROG Project (Free Revised Open Ghost) is taken from the fog project. An PC imaging solution. The projects goal is to move away from the php interface of fog to a ruby on rails interface. It will focus on fedora/centos as the OS of choice.

Universal sw mgmt tool optimized for best resource usage. In SW mgmt, sw is organized in packages with dependencies. Process consists of more tasks, using different resources: net, CPU UniPkg runs tasks in parallel with optimal usage of resources.

rubynet is the backend for a distributed module and documentation project for the Ruby programming language.

Elaborate Visual Studio .vcxproj / .vcproj projects to CMakeLists.txt converter, enabling Makefile or Ninja or IDE builds, i.e. full multi-platform CMake functionality (Linux, Mac, Windows...). Live Update capability: supports side-by-side tracking of evolving original proj files, within build tree!! Script hooks for static CMake defs, powerful definition-to-variable mapping. Access to project data content is via git repository _only_ (it's a developer infrastructure project, thus alternatives are less suitable). Be aware of several branches available for checkout (git branch -a): "experimental_unverified" is for the daring (to start with current most featureful code), while usability of "experimental" always gets hardened via a large build. For instructions see README.txt - for ad-hoc access see Browse Code button (experimental_unverified head) -, then attempt guided installation on a .vc[x]proj-based source tree, via install_me_fully_guided.rb . Devel cooperation welcome!!
