We are targeting Fedora 17. I have already prepared the draft of feature proposal [1] and I'd like to submit it to FESCo aproval before Christmas.
How will Ruby 1.8 be handled? Will we keep a ruby-1.8 package around?
No, sorry, I don't plan it. There is no reason except nostalgia. You can use JRuby if you really need.
I was thinking that, similarly to how Python 2.6 and 2.7 were handled, we could have a compatibility RPM for people who depend on 1.8, such as myself for my downstream projects.
May be you should provide more details for what reason you cannot use Ruby 1.9.3 to help me understand. And believe me, we went through more than 320 packages in Fedora to make sure they are at least buildable with Ruby 1.9.3, if they had properly executed test suited, there is also high chance that these packages will work. There is less then 15 packages from the total amount which are still troubling us but these packages are typically obsolete anyway (take sdljava as an example).
