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] ;)

ruby-sig FAS group and rubygems build in Copr
by Vít Ondruch
Hi everybody,
You probably noticed, that there is ongoing build of all Python packages
in Copr [1] and today, I was approached by Miroslav Suchý, that he'd
like to do the same for rubygems. And this in turn triggered these
questions:
1) Would you be interested to create ruby-sig group in FAS? We could
make the group owner of some packages and in turn, the members of the
group could maintain the packages, without explicitly asking for some ACLs.
2) For the Copr rebuild of rubygems, there needs to be some FAS group
again. Python guys are asking for "pypi-builds-sig" group [2], hence
following their lead, I'd like to ask for "rubygems-builds-sig" group
(note that although I don't like the '-sig' suffix in this case, it is
mandated by the infrastructure ticket template).
So what are your thoughts?

Ruby 2.4
by Vít Ondruch
Hi everybody,
Time is running past and it is almost 6 months of development of Ruby
2.4. So I started to prepare some test build again. I am pushing all the
changes into private-ruby-2.4 branch of dist-git if you are interested
and here is the build of r55184:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=14278233
One notable change is that XMLRPC library was extracted into separate
gem, so rubygem-xmlrpc is now available as Ruby subpackage.
Please give it a try and let me know if anything goes wrong.

JSON symlinks
by Vít Ondruch
Just FYI,
It's quite long time, since we unbundled the gems shipped by default
with Ruby. It caused some pains, but it was working more or less quite
OK. Unfortunately, with release of RoR 5.0 and this PR [1] (which is
just last in a row), Rails does not explicitly specify the dependency on
JSON gem anymore and therefore, if you are using Bundler, it cannot load
the unbundled rubygem-json, although it is available on your system.
Although I am pretty sad, that the Rails developers decided to not list
their dependencies anymore (and I wholehartly agree with the first part
of [2]), I introduced the symlinks into rubygem-json, which will make
the Rails 5.0 work without specifying JSON gem in the Gemfile. Please
test the new releases of rubygem-json [3, 4] to make sure I did not
break anything.

PS. I'be very glad if you can always specify all the dependecies of your
application in your Gemfile or in your .gemspec, being bundled by
default with Ruby or not. If nothing else, it is good habit ...

json support on ruby ?
by Marwan Rabbâa
Hello,
Few days ago, the last version of Rails was out.
I can see, with the following Dockerfile, that json support was dropped
************************************************************************
FROM fedora:latest
RUN dnf -y update
RUN dnf -y install @development-tools ruby{,-devel,gems} wget
redhat-rpm-config zlib-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel
RUN wget -O /tmp/test.rb
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/anonymous/5ddaa37e8ebcae88dd5e2f056b6b...
RUN gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries
RUN gem update --system
RUN gem update
RUN gem install bundler
RUN ruby /tmp/test.rb
************************************************************************
Is there any steps to do to add json support or Ruby (2.3.1) on fedora (24).
