Ruby 2.2
by Vít Ondruch 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Hi everybody, Since Ruby 2.2 is going to be released during Christmas and -preview1 release is imminent (this Wednesday?), it is probably time to start looking into its packaging. So here is the updated .spec file [1] and scratch build [2], which can be finally build on all platforms. Sorry, no Copr for you, since Ruby's build fails there due to old RHEL kernel :/. What has changed from packaging point of view? Luckily, not much, but here are a few bullets which comes to my mind: * RPM 4.12 introduces new %load function, which is used to load RPM macros during RPM build. This allowed to drop my custom RPM macro [3]. On the other hand, you'll be able to build the Ruby only on F21+ (luckily, you should be able to build SRPM everywhere). * The RubyGems filesystem was not explicit enough, so there might be something accidentally packages. This is now more explicit, so we should be safer. * Ruby now ships with MiniTest and Test::Unit. The very good news is that they are installed so far as a regular gems. This means that you have to always specify them in your Gemfile, if you are using Bundler, but this is generally step in good direction. I hope that upstream will not change their mind :) Due to this change, we have new subpackages rubygem-test-unit (and rubygem-power_assert, which is now Test::Unit's dependency). No more %{_bindir}/testrb (but nobody is using it these days anyway, right? ;) * Some prevailing test failures were resolved, some others introduced, but hopefully they'll get resolved prior stable release. Generally, I'd say that not much has changed since 2.1, which is good news. Please test the packaging if you can and let me know about any issues you encountered. Also, if you have any other suggestions about Ruby packaging in general, what we could improve etc, this is probably good time to share. It seems that OpenSUSE guys are improving their packaging, so you might want to get some inspiration there [4, 5, 6] ;) Vít [1] http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ruby.git/log/?h=private-ruby-2.2 [2] http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7578843 [3] http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ruby.git/commit/?h=private-ruby-2.2&id=8… [4] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:darix:ruby/ruby-common [5] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:darix:ruby/ruby2.2 [6] https://github.com/openSUSE/gem2rpm/commits/master

Intend to retire rubygem-rspec2 series on Fedora 35
by Mamoru TASAKA 25 Jun '21

25 Jun '21

Hello, ruby-sig folks: Since rspec 3.0.0 is released on 2014/Jun (almost 7 years ago), Fedora's rubygem-rspec is upgraded to 3.x on Fedora 22 era, and compat package rubygem-rspec2 is introduced. Since I think enough time is already passed for packages to migrate to rspec 3.x and actually: ---------------------------------------------------------- $ dnf repoquery --arch=src --repo=koji-35-source --whatrequires "rubygem(rspec2)" rubygem-database_cleaner-0:1.7.0-5.fc34.src rubygem-nifti-0:0.0.2-14.fc34.src rubygem-rspec2-core-0:2.14.8-11.fc34.3.src rubygem-rspec2-expectations-0:2.14.5-10.fc34.7.src rubygem-rspec2-mocks-0:2.14.6-6.fc34.6.src $ dnf repoquery --repo=koji-35 --qf '%{name}-%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}\t%{SOURCERPM}' --whatrequires "rubygem-rspec2" rubygem-json_spec-0:1.1.5-9.fc34 rubygem-json_spec-1.1.5-9.fc34.src.rpm rubygem-rspec2-doc-0:2.14.1-14.fc34 rubygem-rspec2-2.14.1-14.fc34.src.rpm ---------------------------------------------------------- currently, very few packages depend on rubygem(rspec2). * rubygem-json_spec actually has dependency: "(rubygem(rspec) >= 2.0 with rubygem(rspec) < 4.0)" so this is okay * For rubygem-nifti, I successfully migrated this to use rspec-3.x locally, so (unless someone objects), I will push changes to use rspec-3.x * For rubygem-database_cleaner, current upstream newest is 2.0.1, which is released on 2021/Feb, so the latest one is perhaps using rspec-3.x, I guess. so I intend to retire rubygem-rspec2 series, perhaps in two weeks, or if someone objects, at least I intend to orphan rubygem-rspec2 series on Fedora 35.

Many rubygems related packages has: %exclude %gem_cache . Regards, Mamoru
