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] ;)

Hey Ruby packagers: can you help with asciibinder and its
dependencies?
by Matthew Miller
We're using a new system for http://docs.fedoraproject.org. It's in Ruby, and as per tradition requires a number of ruby gems not packaged in Fedora.
The upstream is at https://github.com/redhataccess/ascii_binder, and it looks like we're missing diff_dirs, asciibinder-diagram, guard, guard-shell, guard-livereload, pandoc-ruby, sitemap_generator, and yajl-ruby. Plus something called "trollop" which needs to be a version in f27/rawhide but not yet in f26.
Can you help? Running asciibinder locally is very convenient while writing or converting docs, and having it a `dnf install` away would be really nice.

Hey no worries and thanks :)
FYI everything is aligned now so as soon as Haikel has done his
leatherman build in rawhide I'll be building Facter 3 there.

Ruby 2.5 change proposal
by Vít Ondruch
Hi rubyists,
Ruby 2.5.0.preview1 was released ~2 weeks ago, so it is right about the
time to start with its preparation, so I put together change proposal
for Ruby 2.5 in Fedora 26 [1]. Any feedback is welcome. If no feedback,
I'll propose this change to package
wrangler in a week or so ...

It seems that there was 2.4 release followed by 3.0 release and since
that point, the 2.x branch was not refreshed. Probably some tooling
issue on puppet side ...
It's rather odd. I plan on engaging with them directly to get an accurate
answer. They don't ship the 2.X facter in their current puppet repos but
there's clearly been releases since 2.4 on the 2.X line.

Where?
On the page I linked it states:
Note: Facter versions prior to 3.0 will go end of life December 31, 2016.
Please update if you haven’t already.
Also interestingly there's no reference to any facter 2.x after 2.4 in
facter documentation... release notes after 2.4 go to 3.0
https://docs.puppet.com/facter/3.8/release_notes.html
I'll definitely contact upstream to get a clear answer on this and include
it in the facter F28 change.

So is there some "preview" package of updated Facter?
I'm literally in the middle of getting it clean etc.
There's some stuff we'll need to get aligned in the spec for leatherman for
instance.
Working on this stuff in my evenings, lunches and commutes so it's not fast
going but I think F28 is reasonable as a goal for the change.
I'm in two minds whether to suggest we leave facter as it is for F25-27 or
whether to at least update those to 2.5.1 which won't have the drastic 3.0
changes.
I expect an answer from upstream about the status of 2.x will help with
that.
I've also not looked fully into the EPEL situation but from an initial
cursory look of gemfiles I think the ruby versions there are out of their
support matrix.
I'll also include those factors in the change when I write it.
I'll try and get initial test packages into COPR this week for feedback.

Anyone have contacts at rubygems.org?
by Bryan Kearney
We have some gems that have been orphaned, and we would like to get
"re-owned". Team members have reached out to rubygems mods but have not
gotten any feedback. If you have a contact, or a suggestion on how best
to approach this I would appreciate the feedback!
thanks!

Fwd: [fesco] Issue #1771: Unresponsive maintainer: kanarip
by Vít Ondruch
Hi,
Kanarip's packages were reassigned or orphaned. From those orphaned, I
think these two should find new owner, since they are in dependency
chain of some other packages:
* rpms/rubygem-columnize
needed by rubygem-byebug
* rpms/rubygem-fattr
needed by rubygem-session <= rubygem-rr
Best,
Vít
