Hi, I am Shreyank Gupta and I want to package sup[0] for Fedora.

I have done a few review requests ([1], [2], [3]) in order to package some of the remaining dependencies which have not been packaged for Fedora. Mamoru Tasaka has been reviewing most of it and has recently sponsored me into the Fedora Packagers group. Many thanks to him.

Although there is another review request for rubygem-net-ssh[4] which needs to be processed so that all dependencies of sup are met. It would be great if someone could take it up.

I am now writing and testing the spec for sup. Will keep you guys posted.

Sup requires the rubygem 'xapian-full' as a runtime dependency. I saw that its nothing but xapian-bindings-ruby and xapian-core which are already packaged for Fedora. Is there a way I could bypass the gem dependency and use the system xapian libraries for sup's runtime?

My review request for sup is at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=601633

Well, I didn't know about "xapian-bindings-ruby" rpm. Then:

Would you check if xapian "gem" is really needed? For example, sup-0.10.2/bin/sup-convert-ferret-index reads: --------------------------------------------------------------- 3 require 'rubygems' 46 begin 47 require 'xapian' 48 rescue LoadError 49 Trollop::die "you don't have the xapian gem installed, so this script won't do much for you--`gem install xapian` (or xapian-full) first" 50 end ---------------------------------------------------------------- This can be satisfied with "rubygems" and "xapian-bindings-ruby" rpms (Just error message says that xapian gem is needed)

Similarly, sup-0.10.2/lib/sup/xapian_index.rb reads: ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1 ENV["XAPIAN_FLUSH_THRESHOLD"] = "1000" 2 3 require 'xapian' ---------------------------------------------------------------- This can also be satisfied with "xapian-bindings-ruby" rpms.

If some script includes something like ---------------------------------------------------------------- gem 'xapian' ---------------------------------------------------------------- this needs xapian gem, however I think you can just remove such lines.

Note that currently it seems that xapian-bindings-ruby does not provide ruby(xapian) or so, so you have to write "Requires: xapian-bindings-ruby" directly.
