Package: ruby-gir-ffi
Version: 0.9.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
requiring 'gir_ffi' fails when using just the Debian packages, I have
a file with just this line:
require 'gir_ffi'
and when I execute it I get this error:
$ ruby test.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require': cannot load such file -- ffi/bit_masks (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'
from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/gir_ffi/core.rb:2:in `<top (required)>'
from /usr/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'

from /usr/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'
from test.rb:1:in `<main>'
It looks like this happens because the ffi-bit_masks[1] plugin is
missing and it's not available in Debian so it can't be pulled in
automatically as a dependency of ruby-gir-ffi.
[1] https://github.com/postmodern/ffi-bit_masks
by installing the plugin via gem the error is gone:
$ sudo gem install ffi-bit_masks
[sudo] password for user:
Fetching: ffi-bit_masks-0.1.0.gem (100%)
Successfully installed ffi-bit_masks-0.1.0

However if I install the ruby-gir-ffi as a Debian package I would like
not to have to pull stuff in using gem.
I guess ffi-bit_masks would need to be packaged to make ruby-gir-ffi
work as expected when installed as a Debian package.
Thanks,
Antonio
