Ruby 2.2
by Vít Ondruch
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] ;)

RDoc 4.2 issue
by Vít Ondruch
Hi,
During the Ruby 2.2 rebuild, there was Hub package failing [1] with
strange error messages:
+ /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot
Binary file /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/hub-1.12.1-3.fc22.noarch/usr/share/doc/hub/js/navigation.js.gz matches
Binary file /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/hub-1.12.1-3.fc22.noarch/usr/share/doc/hub/js/search_index.js.gz matches
Binary file /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/hub-1.12.1-3.fc22.noarch/usr/share/doc/hub/js/searcher.js.gz matches
Found '/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/hub-1.12.1-3.fc22.noarch' in installed files; aborting
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.hP0mLS (%install)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.hP0mLS (%install)
As its turn out, this is due to RDoc, more specifically RDoc now
compresses some of the JS files and it embeds full path to their
location. Up until now, I know about hub and rubygem-rails which are
directly affected by this issue. Nevertheless, also the other packages
which were rebuild contains similar string, however we typically move
the files from BUILD to BUILDDIR, so it was not caught earlier by RPM
build process.
This is hopefully non issue, but to completely avoid it, I reported this
issue upstream with possible patch [1].
So this is just heads up in case you face similar issue.

Ruby 2.2 landed in Rawhide
by Vít Ondruch
Hi everybody,
Just heads up that Ruby 2.2 landed in Rawhide. We tried to rebuild every
package which depends on ruby-devel and libruby.so so most of you should
be fine already. Nevertheless, there are still some packages remaining,
usually due to other issues then Ruby. Namely, it is (if I have not
forget anything):
hub
rubygem-openssl_cms
subversion
swig
uwsgi
vim
Please let me know if you need any assistance with fixing Ruby related
build issues of your packages.
Thanks

Provides in packages?
by Darryl L. Pierce
Have we decided to eliminate:
Provides: rubygem(%{name}) = %{version}
from the specfiles? I have an update for a gem I maintain and rpmlint is
complaining that the line is redundant. Maybe I missed where we
announced that such things are no longer needed in Ruby gem packages?
