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 3.0.3 in Rawhide
by Vít Ondruch
Hi,
I was able to update Ruby to the most recent 3.0.3 version in Rawhide.
I'd appreciate if anybody could help with older versions of Fedora.
Since Rawhide contains a lot of OpenSSL 3.x related fixes, it'd be
probably better to do the updates in F35 and older from scratch, rather
then taking the changes from Rawhide.
BTW the build succeeded after ~12 attempts due to [1].

Ruby vs OpenSSL 3.x
by Vít Ondruch
Hi,
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ruby/pull-request/103
This ^^ is first draft of Ruby which should be compatible with OpenSSL
3.x. So far, I was just successful to build the package including
passing the test suite. Nevertheless:
* Some test cases are disabled, because they fail even upstream
* Upstream is not done with the patch set, so there will be eventually
changes. But I'd like to fix the FTBFS ASAP.
* The patches needs to be renamed and described and what not.
* There are certainly quite a few deprecation warnings during build, but
I'm not going to fix them. Preferring smaller patch set + better
backward compatibility over them
* I have not tested anything else, not even if it installs and if e.g.
some gem can be installed.
* It would deserve test mass rebuild, or at least mass rebuild of
packages which are currently FTBFS, such as Puma and possibly event machine.
There is probably lot more what is wrong with the PR, so please don't
merge it yet, but feel free to give it try. I just wanted to share my
progress and save the work :)
