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 3.0 change proposal
by Vít Ondruch 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

Hi Rubyists, The release of Ruby 3.0 is coming close and to be ready for rebuild after Christmas, I have submitted the Ruby 3.0 change proposal [1]. It is already in `ChangeReadyForWrangler` state, since I don't expect any controversy. But anyway, please review and let me know if you have any concerns.

Ruby 2.8
by Vít Ondruch 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

Hi everybody, I started early this time and therefore, there is already PR with changes for upcoming Ruby version: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ruby/pull-request/55 and the build should be available (if succeeds) here: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=41848663 So far, there are changes in bundled gems. The RSS and REXML gems are not bundled gems, therefore I extracted them into separate subpackages, while Net::Telnet and XMLRPC were dropped from Ruby and therefore ruby-libs now obsoletes these two packages. As always, any feedback is welcome. Vít

rspec suite 3.10 hits rawhide
by Mamoru TASAKA 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

Hello, ruby-sig folks: Before upcoming F-34 mass build, I've upgraded rubygem-rspec suite to 3.10.0. I don't expect any significant difference from 3.9.x as far as I looked at the code briefly, but please test your packages with new rspec. Regards, Mamoru
