Enable and integrate the Ruby plugin #2584
Description
Request
The Charmcraft team currently has no intention of enabling or supporting ruby inside of charms (be that Ruby-based charms or the addition of Ruby code as part of a charm). However, if outside contributors want to take on this project, we are happy to review PRs to that effect. The work that would be required includes:
- Enable the Ruby plugin from craft-parts or create a subclass that modifies the Ruby plugin to be appropriate for charms.
- Create a spread test that builds and tests a basic ruby-based charm (including deploying it to Juju).
- Ensure the Ruby plugin is only enabled for the appropriate bases.
The problem it solves
Enables ruby-based charms (if the charming community is interested in these).
If someone wants to take on this project, we would expect them to show at least one existing charm for which they are a contributor and a specific charm they would like to create using Ruby.
