Hi rubyists,
yesterday evening, we finally obtained tag/target [1] for our Ruby
1.9.3 rebuild. Following that, I immediately build Ruby 1.9.3 there
and following with gems I own or maintain. I would like to ask you to
support me in this effort. I'd like to see to majority of packages
rebuild in this tag before F17 branch, which is 7th of February
according to Fedora 17 release schedule [2]. We would like to merge
the target into the f17 target right before the branch. After this
milestone, we will need to do the rest, however, Bodhi will slow us down.
So here I'll try to list some tips how to proceed, although they are
probably not exhaustive and we will try to update the how to as we
proceed.
=== Build ===
$ fedpkg build --target=f17-ruby
Please note that we are building with special target f17-ruby and that
we are building from master.
=== Updates needed for your package ===
If you wonder what you should change in your package, it is very
likely that you can find updated .srpm in bkabrda's repository [3] as
well as clone of original git repo [4] if you prefer. There is also
list of packages with potential issues [5].
Please note that there was done mass rebuild in mean time, therefore
the packages needs to be updated. Pay special attention to release
number. I am using currently following procedure:
Is there anything beyond taking the srpms in bkabrda's repo, verifying
the updates, and pushing them to our fedora package repo? Would it be
possible to host an interim yum repo containing the updated RPMS
generated from the current SRPM set and updated as packages make their
way into Fedora (possibly this could be the same as vit's 1.9.3 repo or
perhaps we'd want it separate)
How is it best to go about verifying these srpms and any subsequent
updates locally? Is there a yum repo corresponding to the f17-ruby target?
