Description

Sonic Pi is a fresh take on making music i.e. by writing code. It comes with an IDE-like interface and allows for plugging in various external software and hardware. It's used by professionals and amateurs and is popular for "live coding" music. It also doubles up as an interesting way to learn/teach programming fundamentals.

I'll try to get started with this ASAP but would greatly appreciate any help/starting points for templates. This was discussed in #365 a while back and it mentions some error over a missing Ruby package called rugged. If anyone could shed some light on that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

Compiled

Research direction

Review Void's package templates and issue #365 first, then investigate the reported missing Ruby rugged dependency for Sonic Pi. Confirm the package builds from the upstream release and is installable in Void; the issue is done when the package template and dependencies pass the repository's packaging checks.
