Ruby 2.2
by Vít Ondruch 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

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] ;) Vít [1] http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ruby.git/log/?h=private-ruby-2.2 [2] http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7578843 [3] http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ruby.git/commit/?h=private-ruby-2.2&id=8… [4] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:darix:ruby/ruby-common [5] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:darix:ruby/ruby2.2 [6] https://github.com/openSUSE/gem2rpm/commits/master

ruby-sig FAS group and rubygems build in Copr
by Vít Ondruch 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

Hi everybody, You probably noticed, that there is ongoing build of all Python packages in Copr [1] and today, I was approached by Miroslav Suchý, that he'd like to do the same for rubygems. And this in turn triggered these questions: 1) Would you be interested to create ruby-sig group in FAS? We could make the group owner of some packages and in turn, the members of the group could maintain the packages, without explicitly asking for some ACLs. 2) For the Copr rebuild of rubygems, there needs to be some FAS group again. Python guys are asking for "pypi-builds-sig" group [2], hence following their lead, I'd like to ask for "rubygems-builds-sig" group (note that although I don't like the '-sig' suffix in this case, it is mandated by the infrastructure ticket template). So what are your thoughts? Vít [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org… [2] https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/5311

Hi rubyists, I put together change proposal for Ruby 2.4 in Fedora 26 [1]. Any feedback is welcome. If no feedback, I'll propose this change to package wrangler in a week or so ... Vít [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Ruby_2.4

Ruby 2.4
by Vít Ondruch 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Hi everybody, Time is running past and it is almost 6 months of development of Ruby 2.4. So I started to prepare some test build again. I am pushing all the changes into private-ruby-2.4 branch of dist-git if you are interested and here is the build of r55184: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=14278233 One notable change is that XMLRPC library was extracted into separate gem, so rubygem-xmlrpc is now available as Ruby subpackage. Please give it a try and let me know if anything goes wrong. Vít

Packaging pre-release version
by Vít Ondruch 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

Hi all, I am working on rubygem-asciidoctor-mallard review [1] and since there was not released stable version yet, the pre-release version (actually git snapshot) needs to be packaged. And now I realized it is more PITA then it should be. The main issue is with the way, how pre-release packages are versioned. E.g. in rubygem-asciidoctor-mallard case, the upstream version is "0.1.0.dev" which transforms in Fedora into "0.1.0-0.1.dev" and subsequently, no standard macro works. But the remedy could be quite simple. With this change: ``` $ git diff diff --git a/macros.rubygems b/macros.rubygems index 45c59c4..0652ec6 100644 --- a/macros.rubygems +++ b/macros.rubygems @@ -3,12 +3,12 @@ %gem_archdir %{_libdir}/gems # Common gem locations and files. -%gem_instdir %{gem_dir}/gems/%{gem_name}-%{version} -%gem_extdir_mri %{gem_archdir}/%{name}/%{gem_name}-%{version} +%gem_instdir %{gem_dir}/gems/%{gem_name}-%{version}%{?prerelease} +%gem_extdir_mri %{gem_archdir}/%{name}/%{gem_name}-%{version}%{?prerelease} %gem_libdir %{gem_instdir}/lib -%gem_cache %{gem_dir}/cache/%{gem_name}-%{version}.gem -%gem_spec %{gem_dir}/specifications/%{gem_name}-%{version}.gemspec -%gem_docdir %{gem_dir}/doc/%{gem_name}-%{version} +%gem_cache %{gem_dir}/cache/%{gem_name}-%{version}%{?prerelease}.gem +%gem_spec %{gem_dir}/specifications/%{gem_name}-%{version}%{?prerelease}.gemspec +%gem_docdir %{gem_dir}/doc/%{gem_name}-%{version}%{?prerelease} # %gem_install - Install gem into appropriate directory. @@ -28,7 +28,7 @@ gem install \\\ --build-root %{-d*}%{!?-d:.} \\\ --force \\\ --document=ri,rdoc \\\ - %{-n*}%{!?-n:%{gem_name}-%{version}.gem} \ + %{-n*}%{!?-n:%{gem_name}-%{version}%{?prerelease}.gem} \ %{nil} ``` It would be enough to specify: ``` %global prerelease .dev ``` in your .spec file and half of the lines I needed to add into the pre-release package could be removed. Please note that this is inspired by macros Mamoru is using for ages in some of his packages (Nokogiri for example [2]). (Actually, now I realized that the proposal in the review is more complex then it should be, but that is a different story ...) Any thoughts?

Ruby 2.3.2
by Vít Ondruch 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Hi, I am slowly pushing Ruby 2.3.2 into Fedora. Unfortunately, part of Ruby 2.3.2 is update of RubyGems and this update has one annoying consequence. RubyGems developers decided, that it is good idea to freeze all strings in generated .gemspec file. But because of this, there might be several rubygem- packages FTBFS. For example, rubygem-execjs fails to build with following errror: ``` + gem build execjs.gemspec WARNING: See http://guides.rubygems.org/specification-reference/ for help ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::InvalidSpecificationException) ["lib/execjs/support/jscript_runner.js", "lib/execjs/support/json2.js"] are not files ``` This is because there are some files removed from the package and the previous sed: ``` + sed -i -e '/files/ s|"lib/execjs/support/jscript_runner.js", ||' -e '/files/ s|"lib/execjs/support/json2.js", ||' execjs.gemspec ``` Does not match/substitute anything, due to .freeze call :/ This is the fix for rubygem-execjs: ``` $ git diff diff --git a/rubygem-execjs.spec b/rubygem-execjs.spec index b2df67c..fddb541 100644 --- a/rubygem-execjs.spec +++ b/rubygem-execjs.spec @@ -41,8 +41,8 @@ gem unpack %{SOURCE0} gem spec %{SOURCE0} -l --ruby > %{gem_name}.gemspec %patch0 -p1 -sed -i -e '/files/ s|"lib/execjs/support/jscript_runner.js", ||' \ - -e '/files/ s|"lib/execjs/support/json2.js", ||' %{gem_name}.gemspec +sed -i -e '/files/ s|"lib/execjs/support/jscript_runner.js".freeze, ||' \ + -e '/files/ s|"lib/execjs/support/json2.js".freeze, ||' %{gem_name}.gemspec %build # Create the gem as gem install only works on a gem file ``` I'm sorry for any inconvenience, but suggest to complain to Ruby/RubyGems upstream, since minor/teeny version changes should not break anything ...
