yajl-ruby in Fedora

[Ken Dreyer]

It would be really nice to have yajl-ruby in Fedora. This gem blocks
Vagrant as well as Gitorious (
http://ktdreyer.fedorapeople.org/gitorious/graph.png) and I think
GitLab would be affected as well.

The review request has been open for a while:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823351

It seems that we're waiting for upstream to merge
https://github.com/brianmario/yajl-ruby/pull/113 ?

Is there anything else I can do to get traction on this?

Ask FPC for (hopefully temporary) bundling exception?

We (at Chef Software, Inc.) are working on an FFI wrapper around YAJL-C that will be released as a totally separate Gem, without any funny business like forking and bundling libyajl.

Once this is done, it will not only unblock the packaging of Chef in Fedora, but will hopefully be of use to others in the community as well that want to transition away from yajl-ruby, which is kind of abandonware.

Interesting. Just out of curiosity, what will be the name?

https://github.com/brianmario/yajl-ruby/pull/128

Not that I am proposing that you should claim the yaml gem prior the 
yaml-ruby will be renamed ;)
