conda-forge recipe for iruby

[BoPeng]

Is there any plan to add iruby to conda-forge? I plan to add sos-ruby to conda-forge but found that iruby is not currently available in conda, and it is non-trivial to write a recipe for it. Since ruby is already in conda-forge, it would make it much easier for conda users to use iruby if it is added to conda-forge.

Very interesting. I read SoS website. We are happy to see IRuby integrated into the SoS workflow system. Running multiple scripts as workflow is a great idea. And It's a great honor for Ruby to be included in the tools being developed by the bioinformatics division at MD Anderson Cancer Center. So I want to add IRuby to conda-forge to make it easier for someone to install it.

But, we are Ruby users and are not very familiar with the conda-forge ecosystem. So please give me some time to see if that is possible.

It's interesting to me. But I don't have the plan to do it by myself.

@BoPeng Now it might be not non-trivial. Now I found that there are some gems in conda-forge. I think I can create rb-iruby-feedstock. Give me some time.

@BoPeng It may be too rough, but I sent a pull request to conda-forge https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/pull/9380

@kozo2 Added ffi-rzmq to the runtime dependency.
