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.
