Motivation for this change

This is preparation for adding the pghero package. The pg_query gem would try to download a tarball during compilation and this fixes that behaviour.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

This would pin the same version of libpg_query for all the released of the pg_query gem. Not sure what's the best option there...

Ideally we would know what version the gem wants to fetch and the ask the user to provide the right sha256 for that version.

Yeah, for now I only wanted to get pghero to work. The best solution I think would be to allow easier repacking of the .gem before installation, so we could add the tarball in the gem.
https://github.com/lfittl/pg_query/blob/master/ext/pg_query/extconf.rb#L13 does a check whether the tarball exists already, and I've seen this pattern increasingly in native extensions, but right now I can't find a good way to take advantage of it.

What do you think of passing a custom gemConfig to pghero in that case?

On the other hand it's not a new problem, we have the same issue with libv8 and other gems, ... so it's unfair of me to block you on that issue.

When putting the whishful thinker hat on, ideally I would like the ruby gems to include what external files they want to download in their gemspec metadata, and standardize where those would be downloaded on disk. If that were the case, bundix could do the prefetch-url dance and then place it in the right place for us at runtime.

Thank you for your contributions.
This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.
If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.
Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

  1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the
    related code and @ mention them in a comment.
  2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse. 3. Ask on the #nixos channel on
    irc.freenode.net.

Closing because the proposed solution is far from ideal.
