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

Status update: updating rubygem-cucumber
by Jarek Prokop 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Hi all, Pavel and I have been working bringing the new rubygem-cucumber 7.1.0 into Fedora. We have working updates available in a copr repo [0] that you can try out (as to "how", see the proposal [1]). There are some new dependencies (and renames) that need a review done in order to get the packages into Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2010235 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2010263 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2010313 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2010350 Also feel free to take a look at the PRs: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-cucumber-wire/pull-request/2 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-cucumber/pull-request/4 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-cucumber-core/pull-request/4 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-childprocess/pull-request/2 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-aruba/pull-request/2 Once we have all the required packages updated we will start rebuilding them in a side-tag.

Ruby 3.1
by Vít Ondruch 23 Dec '21

23 Dec '21

Hi everybody, There were quite a lot of stuff happening, such as OpenSSL 3.x support, which kept me away from looking at Ruby 3.1. But now is the highest time and here is the PR you can follow: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ruby/pull-request/106 The scratch build if succeeds is available here: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=79519429 Please note that I have not done any testing except build. And here are a few notes. * -preview1 was not building due to some dependency issues. Therefore I went for more recent revision. * OpenSSL 3.x support is still not finished. * The good news is that there was removed one long standing patch [1]. * The bad news is that RBS and debug gem are not building [2]. Therefore older version of RBS is used and debug gem is completely omitted ATM. * Because Ruby ships more and more stuff as bundled gems, I have introduced *ruby-bundled-gems* package, because packaging the gems on their own does not scale anymore. * dbm/gdbm support was removed from StdLib, therefore also the gdbm-devel dependency was dropped. As always, please give it a try and let me know if you discover any issues.

Ruby 3.1 change proposal
by Vít Ondruch 17 Dec '21

17 Dec '21

Hi, I have just put together Ruby 3.1 change proposal [1] and flipped it ready for package wrangler. There is nothing exceptional comparing to previous changes and there is the feedback period for change proposal reviews. Nonetheless, please review the proposal and let me know should you have any concern. Hopefully, we will be able to start with the rebuild right after the Christmas.
