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] ;)

dnf, jruby, and mock
by Ken Dreyer
mock with dnf pulls in jruby to satisfy "Requires: ruby(release)" on
Rawhide. I've found that several (all?) of my local Rawhide mock
builds fail due to jruby issues. This makes maintaining gem packages
pretty tedious, and breaks fedora-review runs, etc.
Can we remove the "Provides: ruby(release)" from Fedora's jruby in
F23? That seems like it would be easier than switching all rubygem
packages that FTBFS to "Require: ruby-mri", and besides, it often it
is not my noarch gem itself that breaks with jruby, but some other
build dependency somewhere in the chain. I think it makes sense to
just remove the virtual provide from jruby until jruby is more stable.

Changes to @rubyonrails group in comps
by Josef Stribny
Hi all,
I would love to update the comps files for f23 regarding the
@rubyonrails group.
I believe that this group needs to include the new Rails default gems
and drop
opinionated dependencies such as rubygem-passenger. All changes are included
as an attachment. I hope this will allow us to promote this group as a
default way
of Ruby on Rails installation on Fedora.
If you are not against this change, I will push the changes next week.
If you have
time, please review.
Best Regards
Josef

Orphaning rubygem-{rack-mount,regin}
by Vít Ondruch
Hi all,
rubygem-rack-mount and rubygem-regin were originally used by Ruby on
Rails for routing, but they were later replaced by rubygem-journey in
RoR 3.2, which in turn is now integrated in rails. As both of them are
abandoned upstream, the source code is no more available in its original
location and they failed to pass mass rebuild, I believe it is about
time to let them fade away in Fedora, therefore I orphaned them in Rawhide.
