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

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

by Miroslav Suchý 30 May '16

FYI: http://frostyx.cz/posts/copr-rubygems tl;dr version - you can submit name of module from rubygems.org and Copr will create rpm package for you. I will be grateful for any feedback (either positive or negative). -- Miroslav Suchy, RHCA Red Hat, Senior Software Engineer, #brno, #devexp, #fedora-buildsys

Is it time to retire rubygem-therubyracer?
by Vít Ondruch 26 May '16

26 May '16

Hi all, I am thinking about retiring therubyracer from Fedora. Please let me explain. It was always pain to have therubyracer in Fedora. First issue was to get it working with system v8. We did that, but later, there were issues with compatibility after v8 updates. Later, upstream split the v8 from therubyrace into separate libv8 (!!!) rubygem, which made the situation even worse, since I can't imagine to have rubyge-libv8-4.5.95.5 which will use on the background different version of system v8. This kept us with old version of therubyracer and old version of v8. Recently, after introduction of gcc 6.x, there were some issues with compilation of v8 and hence therubyracer was not working. Now, Spot updated system v8 without asking into some recent version, which is not compatible with our version of therubyracer [1] and moreover, therubyracer upstream seems to be stalled (there is no activity since September 2015 as far as I can say). We introduced therubyracer in the times, when NodeJS had not been available in Fedora yet, when now it seems NodeJS is in Fedora and does not go away any time soon. Upcoming version of RHSCL are going to use NodeJS in place of therubyracer as well. All this means, that we should update all rubygems that needs some JS engine to depends on NodeJS instead of therubyracer and retire therubyracer. Any thoughts?

BASH completion for Ruby
by Vít Ondruch 25 May '16

25 May '16

Hi guys, Anybody have any experience with some scripts for bash completion? Have you tried any? Should we integrate any? Just a quick googling gave me two results: https://github.com/mernen/completion-ruby https://github.com/pdkl95/rubygems-completion And there are probably others. I did not tried them yet. Have you? Do you have other/better tips? Thank you Vit
