[DRE-maint] Bug#627820: compass-susy-plugin: susy.rb not available in the ruby load path anymore

[Micah Anderson]

Package: compass-susy-plugin
Version: 0.9~20110427-1
Severity: important

Hi!

I've recently installed a newer version of the package that you made of
compass-susy-plugin, and was surprised to find it doesn't work how I
expected. I poked around and then I found these entries in the
changelog:

  * Fix registration of Sass library extension:
    + Install ruby code privately to compass (not public ruby module).
    + Stop (build-)dependending on ruby packages.
    + Drop note in long description about ruby library relation.
    + Rename binary package: Strip ruby version suffix.
    + Conflict with and replace compass-susy-plugin1.8.

and I'm wondering why you did that? The project that I originally
packaged this for requires that the susy code also be available as a
public ruby module. 

The gem that provides compass-susy-plugin features a lib directory that
contains susy.rb, and because of this the issue I have with the package
doesn't happen
(/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/compass-susy-plugin-0.8.1/lib/susy.rb) We
initialize susy by simply doing a: require 'susy' -- but perhaps there
is a better/more correct way?

If you follow the susy tutorial on the web you are instructed to do
this:

$ compass create myproject -r susy -u susy

but if you do that with the debian package, you get this:

LoadError on line 105 of /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/configuration/data.rb: no such file to load -- susy
Run with --trace to see the full backtrace

It seems buggy especially if the fresh compass project you created fails

So, I'm a bit puzzled why you went through this process of unregistering
it as a global ruby library... but I suspect there is something that I
do not know!

maybe usr/share/compass/frameworks/* should be added to the load path by
compass?
