Fedora / Ruby 1.9 appliance

[Mo Morsi]

Just figured I'd share this here incase anyone is interested but not 
subscribed to Fedora Planet.

http://mo.morsi.org/blog/node/316

I just released a Fedora based virtual appliance w/ a Ruby 1.9.1 based 
rpm stack. To get there I managed to get ruby-shadow to compile against 
Ruby 1.9.1, released updated rubygems and rubygem-rake packages 
compatible w/ Ruby 1.9 (they are just empty packages now which depend on 
Ruby, as Ruby 1.9 ships w/ gem & rake), and pushed alot of updates to my 
polisher and polisher-scripts projects.

http://github.com/movitto/polisher
http://github.com/movitto/polisher-scripts

All updated rpms were built in mock against the Ruby 1.9 rpm, so when 
you run a ruby-gnome app for example, your running against the latest 
gnome2 lib that ships w/ Fedora as well as the Ruby 1.9 libraries.

To start the appliance, simply extract the tarball and run "sudo 
virt-image polisher-devel.xml". Then simply bring up virt-manager for 
graphical access to the vm.

Many thanks to all on this list for all the work so far which I 
leveraged to build this appliance. There is alot more todo, I want to 
eventually get every Ruby project in Fedora built against 1.9.1, and try 
to get a Ruby 1.8.7 appliance up and running, but this should help 
anyone looking to start running software against a native Fedora/Ruby 
1.9.1 stack.

Enjoy.

Can we have the sources somewhere, and would it be possible to collaborate 
through one or the other koji instance?

My apologies, I didn't realize the sources weren't made available. To 
find out how I built a particular project, look at the polisher-script 
which should list all the sources pulled in. For example, with 
ruby-shadow, 
http://github.com/movitto/polisher-scripts/blob/master/projects/ruby-shad...  
I pull in the official ruby-shadow source, as well as a few patches I 
wrote to get it working against Ruby 1.9.1, which I made available on my 
web site

http://projects.morsi.org/polisher/sources/

Some other projects entail pulling sources from upstream, fedora cvs, as 
well as my own custom patches hosted on morsi.org. The 'Ruby' project 
being managed by Polisher is this way for example

http://github.com/movitto/polisher-scripts/blob/master/projects/ruby/regi...

Hope this helps,
