RSpec 3
by Julian C. Dunn
Hi again,
I’ve been packaging more and more stuff that is using RSpec 3 in test suites. We currently have RSpec 2.14.1 even in rawhide. Is anyone working on an upgrade? Or providing RSpec 3 in parallel?
I realize it’s a big undertaking to do this, but it sucks not to be able to run tests in %check because of all the breaking changes.

Help on some ruby package for EPEL/Fedora
by Michael Stahnke
I am primary point of contact on several ruby packages. Sadly, I haven't
been able to give them the love and attention they need lately. I got into
most of them when I had a different day job, and needed them in EPEL. Today
I have less needs in that space. I'd love more co-maintainers, or even to
orphan some of the following packages. Please sign up now for
co-maintainerships. In a week or so I'll orphan the ones I have no interest
in if nobody else picks up co-maintainership.

Ruby on Rails core packages update automation
by Josef Stribny
Hi all Ruby hackers,
I finally put together the scripts[0] I wrote during recent rebases
of Rails in Fedora Rawhide. The scripts should automate the process
of updating teeny versions of Rails packages, but can be helpful for
any Rails update.
This project which I call railsbuild is split into 4 scripts that can
be used separately to get all Fedora packages repositories and Rails
upstream repository, get the tests into place, update the specs and
to do the actual builds.
Before each build a scratch-build is run and if that fails the update
process is aborted for the packager to fix the broken package after
which railsbuild can be run again to continue from where it left you.
Latest updates to Rails 4.1.5 for both rawhide and F21 has been done
by railsbuild scripts which saved me a lot of time that I previously
spent on manually doing all that steps.
I hope that once Polisher gets better we could incorporate the Polisher
update script so the spec updates could be (semi-)automated for major
versions as well.
Take a look and improve if you can:).
Best Regards
Josef

gem-compare: A new tool for tracking upstream changes
by Josef Stribny
Hi all,
I would like to announce the first release of the gem-compare[0] plugin,
a tool made to simplified the process of updating gems in Fedora.
Instead of manually fetching and unpacking new gem releases, comparing
their dependencies, and using grep and diff tools to check the differences
between the releases I decided to automate this process as much as I can.
The result was a script that I decided to turn into a RubyGems plugin for
clarity and ease of use. The main purpose of the tool is to report
the differences between:
* gemspec parameters such as license, authors, homepage, ...
* runtime and development dependencies
* Gemfile dependencies
* files including shebangs and permissions modifications
The usage is as follows:
$ gem compare rails 3.0.0 4.0.0 -k
I usually run it in the git directory of the associated Fedora package so
it downloads the missing new version, unpacks both, run the comparison and
print the results. I then can go straight to editing the .spec file and
update what is necessary.
However, you can use the tool in many other ways, e.g. running:
$ gem compare rails '>=3.0.0' --runtime
will reveal that activeresource dependency was dropped in 4.0.0 and
actionview dependency was added in 4.1.0.
Please see more examples at GitHub[0] and all valid options with:
$ gem compare --help
To install it, simply run:
$ gem install gem-compare
Once it's more tested and bugs[1] are resolved I will package it for Fedora.
I didn't package it yet because it needs one dependency that is not yet in
Fedora repositories.
I would like to kindly ask you to help me to test it and tell me what you
think.
Best Regards
Josef

ruby-debug19 future?
by Vít Ondruch
Hi Mamoru,
What is your plan about ruby-debug19 and associated packages? They don't
look maintained upstream. Isn't this right time to drop them from
Fedora? Just wondering ....
