Hi all,
I'm interested in some feedback and hints as to how to tackle this problem I'm seeing:
rubygem-passenger upstream is a Ruby on Rails deployment utility that practically makes installing a new version of a Ruby on Rails web application a drag-and-drop action. Anyway;
One part of the upstream release is the Ruby Gem - which, when installed, offers a command that says;
passenger-install-apache2-module
which is mod_rails/mod_rack, and can be loaded in httpd so that it's all nice and integrated and nifty.
Problem is, "passenger-install-apache2-module" is building the .so and now I'm seeing a chicken-or-egg problem;
I need the gem to be installed to be able to build the httpd module, and the httpd module is built from the same source(s).
I would appreciate some advice as to if splitting the packages and build-requiring the rubygem-passenger package for the mod_rails package is the way to go, or whether there's another route.
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,

Hello.
I don't know rubygem-passenger at all and only tried to write a spec file for this package very quickly (so I don't know how/if my spec file works), however I guess my quick draft can be useful:
http://mtasaka.fedorapeople.org/rubygem_specs/rubygem-passenger.spec
! note: Currently this spec file makes many rpmlint errors or warnings but I just wrote this spec file quickly and didn't try to suppress these messages.
! note 2: Also please refer to the current discussion about rubygems with C code: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2008-November/msg00000.html https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Mtasaka/PackagingDrafts/RubyGem_with_C_c...

I guess ruby-devel or so is missing from BuildRequires and perhaps some more fixes are needed....

Hi Mamoru,
I've picked this up and there were some very useful hints in the spec you linked me. I'm just about to finish this package up for initial review submission along with the required rubygem-rake... Can I add you to the CC: when I submit it and ask you if you can take a sneak peak at the .spec file before anyone else sinks his teeth into the review?
Kind regards,

As you are already seeing this, I have assigned your review requests to myself.
