updated F15 / rails 3.0.3 status

[Mohammed Morsi]

  I spent several cycles over the last few days updating many of the 
rails 3.0.3 rpms and dependencies in preparation to submit them to 
rawhide for Fedora 15. I've also shored up various bugzilla new and 
update package requests in this context.

All in all the work and update strategy is summarized in the Fedora 15 / 
Rails 3 planning spreadsheet

As far as RPMs which I've updated since the last time, these include

treetop
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-treetop-1.4.9-1.fc14.src.rpm
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-treetop.spec

thor
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-thor-0.14.6-1.fc14.src.rpm
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-thor.spec

rdoc
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-rdoc-3.4-1.fc14.src.rpm
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-rdoc.spec

activerecord
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-activerecord-3.0.3-1.fc14.src.rpm
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-activerecord.spec

actionpack
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-actionpack-3.0.3-1.fc14.src.rpm
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-actionpack.spec

activeresource
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-activeresource-3.0.3-1.fc14.src.rpm
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-activeresource.spec

actionmailer
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-actionmailer-3.0.3-1.fc14.src.rpm
http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-actionmailer.spec

rails

http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-rails.spec


With this latest set, the rpms should be just about finalized and ready 
to go for Fedora. All dependencies are represented in the specs and all 
test suites are successfully running against the rpms in Fedora and the 
ones being staged for the push into rawhide.

The updated versions of rubygems treetop and thor are ready to go and 
don't need any further approval. I will hold off on pushing them for a 
short bit to give the community a chance to comment (the corresponding 
bugzilla issues have been updated) but will push sooner than later to 
keep the ball rolling.

I've also submitted official package reviews for the following new 
packages in Fedora

rack-mount: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=667997
arel: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=667954
tzinfo: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668098
mail:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665560
bundler: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=646836
activemodel: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=651898
railties: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668090


In addition to wrapping those up and getting more people to look at and 
test the updated rails rpms, the following rpms which I've submitted to 
Fedora need reviews

text-hyphen:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668824
text-format: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668823
memcache-client: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668822
rdoc: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668820


It looks like a bit of work, but alot of it is done and taken care of 
and its just moving things through the process. If we can get a couple 
of people to help reviewing / pushing packages, it'll be done in no time 
and we'll have rails 3 in F15!
