Ruby 3.1 - Mass rebuild
by Vít Ondruch
Hi,
It is time of the year when new version of Ruby was released upstream
and we should land it in Fedora. Unfortunately, the change proposal was
approved just last Thursday and on top of that, rebase of libffi broke
Ruby (I am going to disable the failing test cases for the moment and
hope for the best). So this brings us into situation, where won't have
enough time prior Fedora Mass rebuild. I have discussed this a bit with
relengs and one of the options would be to build Ruby early during the
mass rebuild and fix the outfall later. I shared the proposal in the
Fedora Mass rebuild ticket [2]. One downside would be that in case of
problems, we could not trigger our contingency plan, which is "drop our
side tag". But I hope we won't need that.
Any thoughts?
My fist concern is that maybe we should build more then just Ruby.
rubygem-json comes to my mind and possibly rubygem-nokogiri?

Question about redmine
by Peter Boy
Hi,
we are using redmine as our project management tool and installation and maintenance is a bit cumbersome. Having a Fedora package would make it a lot easier. Has someone already tried to create a Fedora package of Redmine? Or are there specific issues that make it difficult to create a rpm?
I'm wondering that no rpm distribution includes a Redmine package. There is a third party package, but it is non-functional.
Thanks
Peter

orphan rubygem-ruby-ntlm
by Mamoru TASAKA
Hello, ruby-sig folks:
I've orphaned rubygem-ruby-ntlm .
Currently repoquery shows no package uses this package uses this packages either on
BuildRequires or Requires. On rawhide, this package FTBFS because this package
uses OpenSSL::Digest::MD4 and OpenSSL::Cipher::DES , which does not seem to be
supported on Fedora openssl-3.

Ruby 2.2
by Vít Ondruch
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] ;)

Mass rebuild failure on rubygems related packages
by Mamoru TASAKA
Hello, ruby-sig folks:
So looks like there is really a lot of rebuild failure on rubygems related
packages - and many of them contains:
Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.gjYYrb
+ umask 022
+ cd /builddir/build/BUILD
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.gjYYrb: line 31: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
RPM build errors:
I just noticed this, I will perhaps investigate what has happened, but
if someone can take a look at this beforehand, I really appreciate it.
Maybe... (just a guess) this is related with
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SetBuildFlagsBuildCheck , but
I may be wrong.

Mamoru

Of course ruby-sig ML would be the right audience, therefore I am adding

Yeah, I can do that unless somebody else wants to beat me. So any other
volunteer?
