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 2.5

Hi all, Ruby 2.4 was released during Christmas and the upcoming Ruby 2.5 development is advancing, so I continue in the tradition and I got r58319 packaged for testing. The updated .spec file is available in dist-git private-ruby-2.5 branch and here is the scratch build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=18952639 One thing I'd like to point out that upstream is working on gemification of StdLib. The question ATM is what the result will be. Hence, there is one big TODO in the .spec file [1]. The question if each of the gems should be unbundled or not. The future will tell hopefully.

Hey Ruby packagers: can you help with asciibinder and its dependencies?
by Matthew Miller 07 Feb '18

We're using a new system for http://docs.fedoraproject.org. It's in Ruby, and as per tradition requires a number of ruby gems not packaged in Fedora. The upstream is at https://github.com/redhataccess/ascii_binder, and it looks like we're missing diff_dirs, asciibinder-diagram, guard, guard-shell, guard-livereload, pandoc-ruby, sitemap_generator, and yajl-ruby. Plus something called "trollop" which needs to be a version in f27/rawhide but not yet in f26. Can you help? Running asciibinder locally is very convenient while writing or converting docs, and having it a `dnf install` away would be really nice.
