As discussed the last few weeks during the EPEL weekly meeting, the rubygem-rack package will be updating in EPEL5. There are no current packages that depend on its current version (0.4), but there are several that require rack > 1.0.
rubygem-rack will be moving to version 1.1 in EPEL 5. This update will be available in epel-testing no later than tomorrow. This is not a 100% compatible ABI, it's very close but there are a few minor changes. Upon analysis of potential usage of rack, we felt this update was acceptable.
If there are no serious objections to moving the version of rack, it will placed in stable after the two-week period spent in epel-testing.
rubygem-rack version 1.1 should allow for usage with Sinatra, Padrino, Merb, many versions of Rails, and more.
Please let me know if you find any issues and offer karma to the update based upon your experiences with it.

+1, works well with both Rails and Sinatra for me.

I thought Sinatra 1.1 will depend on Rack 1.1, so this update is OK from this point.
However current Sinatra version included in Fedora and EPEL works well with rack-1.1.

afair, rack 1.1 only works with Rails 2.3.8, (or maybe > 2.3.6), how does it fit to the current rails version in epel?
Thanks, Ohad

It may not. The current version of rails in epel is fairly old at this point (I think it's pre rack days). I did say many versions of rails (not all) :)
I use mostly sinatra these days which where I've done a majority of my testing. At my dayjob we also have a newer rails stack for EL5 because the 2.2 version was not cutting it for us.
I've actually really wanted to move rails in EPEL5 for a while, but that might be too big of change, (read API breakage) unless there are some serious security reasons to do so.
