Ruby 2.2

[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] ;)

It look like koji is OK. I've created repositories for experimenting
(the preview1 version):

http://scientific.zcu.cz/repos/ruby22-epel7.repo
http://scientific.zcu.cz/repos/ruby22-fedora20.repo

I returned it back for playing on F20. :-) But it's probably not needed
in F22/rawhide.

There is one unstable test
(https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=7770442&name=build...):

  5) Failure:
TestException#test_machine_stackoverflow_by_define_method
[/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-2.2.0-preview1/test/ruby/test_exception.rb:555]:
pid 27865 killed by SIGSEGV (signal 11)
15848 tests, 2507477 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors, 33 skips

It passed OK on second build.

And the build machine needs to have IPv4 enabled, but that's probably
nothing which can be easily changed (launching local network tests are
usefull too).

rpmlint returns some messages. Bad thing may be the "evil" permissions
0666 on /usr/share/gems/specifications/*.gemspec.

Hi František,

Thanks for testing!

Yes, koji is OK, it uses F20 kernel to my knowledge.

Nice! Glad to see that the .spec file works fine with the preview1.

Yes, I met the issue as well:

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9739#note-6

But it passed without any attention. May be I should open separate issue.

What do you mean by this? The build does not pass on IPv6 only machine
or how should I understand it?

That is good idea to check rpmlint output. There seems to be more issues
than this one.

Thanks for the feedback.

I just pushed spec file updated to r47902 into SCM. The scratch build is
available here:

Submitted patch for this specific issue:

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10383

And a few others along the way:

https://github.com/test-unit/test-unit/pull/78

I just pushed r47940 into dist-git and this is the scratch build:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7874332

It addresses some of the rpmlint issues, notably the .gemspec
permissions noticed by František.

[Vít Ondruch]

Hi,

I've pushed .spec file updated to r48365 into dist-git. Associated
scratch build is available here:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=8091422

As always, please test and let me (or upstream) know about any issues
you'd encounter.

[Vít Ondruch]

And yet another update to r48476. And here is the Koji build (but I have
no more patience to wait for ARM, so I hope it is not stuck somewhere ;)):

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=8177839

BTW I made a little script which can prepare an upstream tarball and
update the ruby.spec a bit, not sure where to put it yet and what will
be the future, so this is it at its temporary location:

https://gist.github.com/voxik/8fa0593faec15225ecb0


Any feedback is appreciated.

Very nice!

I generally just check this sort of thing into dist-git, alongside the
.spec file, and include it as a "SourceX:" so it will ship as part of
the SRPM. Perhaps name it "generate-ruby-tarball-and-update-spec.rb"
or something.

Well, add this into dist-git is quite good idea. Not sure about the SRPM
though ...

Hi rubyists,

I have pushed update to Ruby 2.2.0-preview2 into dist-git. Here is
associated scratch build (if it succeeds ;).

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=8278345

Please let me know about any issue you possibly encounter.

Yet another update in dist-git, this time to Ruby 2.2 r48741. Here is
the scratch build:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=8323070

The build failure on ARM is already reported to upstream.


Vít

[Vít Ondruch]

I just pushed update of upcoming Ruby 2.2 package into dist git. This
time it is updated to r48879. Here [1] is the associated build (yes, ARM
failed, but I'd expect that second round would pass, feel free to make
your own build in case you want to experiment on ARM).

I dropped the release back to 1, since it seems that all bundled gems
have bumped their version since Ruby 2.1, so it should be safe (but if
you have installed previous builds, this version will not update them
due to this change, sorry)

Any feedback is welcome.


BTW Ruby 2.2 should be released in one week, i.e. next Thursday, so this
is good opportunity to provide last feedback to upstream.

Ruby 2.2 - RC1

[Vít Ondruch]

Hi everybody.

RC1 was released yesterday [1] and here is test build for you:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=8437177

Please also note that not only the RC1 was released, but the Ruby 2.2
was branched into ruby_2_2.

And there are also some small changes in the package:

* Since there were no objections (so far) I dropped the libdb dependency
and it is replaced by gdbm.
* The psych links were previously moved from ruby_libdir to
ruby_vendordir, due to issues with update from directories to symlinks
(rhbz#988490). Since F18 was EOLed a while ago, I reverted the commit
and the links will be again in ruby_libdir, where they actually belongs.

Some tools I use to package Ruby

[Vít Ondruch]

This has been very long sitting on my TODO list and today was the day. 
Therefore I published this tool:

https://github.com/fedora-ruby/ferut/blob/main/ruby-devel-srpm.rb

If you have not heard about "ferut", that is because I have created also 
the whole repository ;) It includes one additional tool:

https://github.com/fedora-ruby/ferut/blob/main/ruby-patches.sh

This serves as a tool to rebase patches included in Ruby to apply 
cleanly. I might publish there additional tools should I have some. 
Please note that there tools are "designed" to solely fulfill my needs. 
Therefore although I appreciate all feedback, I won't make any promises 
about accepting PRs or what not.

Some tools I use to package Ruby

[Vít Ondruch]

Hi,

I have pushed a few updates to these tools and I have added one 
additional tool:

https://github.com/fedora-ruby/ferut/blob/main/rename-patch.sh

This tries to extract information from the patch "Subject:" line and use 
it for the patch filename, in a similar way how `git format-patch` would 
name it.
