Hi,

If nobody objects, I am going to retire *rubygem-mongrel* and its associated gems rubygem-gem_plugin, rubygem-fastthread and rubygem-mongrel_cluster.

Mongrel is not maintained anymore [1]. It dos not support Ruby on Rails 3 available in Fedora, the last supported Ruby on Rails version was 2.3.7. There are available more viable Ruby web servers such as rubygem-thin. I believe nobody will regret this loss.


I believe the rubygem-passenger package that is being worked on for inclusion in fedora still requires rubygem-fastthread.

Hi greg,

fastthread shouldn't be required by recent 1.8 Ruby versions according to the original author [1]. If it is, it is just because lack of expressiveness of RubyGems. Moreover, I consider this dependency bug anyway, since it just improves speed, but was never really needed. For example, Mongrel is running without the fastthread just fine (although slower probably), only its .gemspec forces it to use the fastthread. That is wrong.
