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] ;)

Latest RSpec issues?
by Vít Ondruch
Dear Mamoru,
Could you please check the following two packages which recently started
to fail?
https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/rubygem-webmock?collection=f36
https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/rubygem-websocket-extensions?co...
I suspect that this is related to the RSpec update, but the errors are
quite strange on the first look:
~~~
1) WebMock::RequestSignature initialization assigns normalized headers
Failure/Error: @headers =
WebMock::Util::Headers.normalize_headers(headers)
#<WebMock::Util::Headers (class)> received :normalize_headers
with unexpected arguments
expected: ({"A"=>"a"})
got: ({"A"=>"a"})
# ./lib/webmock/request_signature.rb:25:in `headers='
# ./lib/webmock/request_signature.rb:49:in `assign_options'
# ./lib/webmock/request_signature.rb:11:in `initialize'
# ./spec/unit/request_signature_spec.rb:23:in `new'
# ./spec/unit/request_signature_spec.rb:23:in `block (3 levels) in
<top (required)>'
# ./lib/webmock/rspec.rb:37:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
~~~
Thx a lot

P.S. Sorry for not being more helpful, I have to spent some time with
CentOS Stream 9 to get Ruby into shape there, especially the problematic
SystemTap support [1].

RubyGems 3.3.22 + Bundler 2.3.22 in Rawhide
by Vít Ondruch
Hi,
Since the independent RubyGems package was FTBFS for some time and there
was no Ruby update for a while, I have decided that it is probably about
the time to try to fix and update RubyGems. Since RubyGems are nowadays
shipped with Bundler and we enforce that Bundler has to be the same or
newer version then sipped with them, this also forced update or Bundler.
And here it is:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-8d0a0920e1
Since the independent packages were not updated and used for a while,
please give it some careful testing and report back if there is
something wrong. Hopefully there won't be any issues, but one never know.
Thx
