Most Ruby on Rails applications will probably use a +combination of Rubygems and Bundler to manage some of the +dependencies, but it's possible to substitute Guix packages for +Bundler, to gain some of the advantages of working with GNU Guix. + +To try this out, you'll need to: + + - ~git submodule update --init~ + - Setup the guix submodule, some instructions here: + https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/guix.html#Building-from-Git + - Use =direnv= to setup the environment correctly, or run: + ~./guix/pre-inst-env guix environment --ad-hoc ruby ruby-rails~ + - Then run ~rails s~ from =testapp= + +Once Ruby on Rails support is in Guix properly (rather than a branch), +this should hopefully be easier. This bug [1] tracks the overall +progress, but other bugs are used for subsets of the patches.
