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 2.6 - Mass rebuild
by Vít Ondruch 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Hi all, It is about the time to start with mass rebuild of packages for Ruby 2.6, since the change proposal was already accepted in advance. Finally, after more then week of waiting, I was also able to obtain side-tag [2], so we won't disrupt Rawhide a lot. The Ruby 2.6 is already build there as well as a few other packages. Now it is time for your help. This is the list of packages, which very likely needs rebuild: ``` $ dnf repoquery --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rawhide --enablerepo=rawhide-source --arch=src --whatrequires 'ruby-devel' | sort | uniq ``` You can take the package and just fire rebuild, but please ensure that you are using f30-ruby build target [2], i.e. the build command should look like: ``` $ fedpkg build --target f30-ruby ``` Please be careful, because if you, by a chance, omit the f30-ruby target, you'll be building against Ruby 2.5 which is not what you want. If you won't do it by yourself, I'll be rebuilding all packages after I am finished with my packages. I'll be using fermig [3] to help mi with that. If you don't want me to touch your packages for whatever reason, please let me know. Also, Pavel Valena built some packages against Ruby 2.6 in his Copr repository [4], so please check if other packages needs some adjustments. You can follow the progress at: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/builds?inherited=0&tagID=5700&order=-bu… or using: ``` $ koji list-tagged f30-ruby ``` As always, any help/testing/feedback is welcome.

People, I am using: - Fedora 29 x86_64 - rubygem-concurrent-ruby-1.0.5-4.fc29.noarch but when I run as user phil: rails new pam I get: Resolving dependencies... Using rake 12.3.2 Fetching concurrent-ruby 1.1.4 Shouldn't I be able to use all the gems I need from installed RPMs?

Ruby 2.6
by Vít Ondruch 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

Hi everybody, I just created PR with .spec file updated to build Ruby 2.6.0.preview3: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ruby/pull-request/32 It is very much WIP, but it builds at least. I have even not tried to install or run the package. Pagure is so nice, that it should provide the recent scratch builds via simple-koji-ci, so I am not going to link it here. So far, there are 3 things missing/ignored: 1. Bundler is completely removed. I am afraid the situation has not improved much since last year. E.g. Molinillo, the dependency solver is included in Ruby twice, once via RubyGems, second time via Bundler, etc. not nice. 2. IRB was gemified, therefore it should be moved into rubygem- subpackage and the original ruby-irb should be obsoleted. 3. I am still undecided how to go forward with JIT. It requires compiler and it has to be explicitly required, therefore we should do nothing IMO. Later, we should probably Suggest or even Require the compiler? Not sure. And as always, please let me know any feedback, either here or in PR. Best, Vít
