Hello,

I have recently pushed my ongoing work on packaging Ruby 1.9.3 for F17 
to my github [1]. Pleas don't hesitate and contact me if you have any 
comments. Pull requests are welcomed.

Vit,

Does that mean 1.9 RPMs will not be available for F16?

Thanks,

Phil.

Vit and myself have discussed the topic of pushing Ruby 1.9.3 in F-17, and for 
my interest is currently limited to Puppet continuing to work, we have decided 
Vit pushes out his Ruby 1.9.3 builds to a Fedora People repository, so that I 
can test - and obviously you can as well. We may even request a ruby-193 
rawhide koji build tag/target for this with Release Engineering - or in other 
words, Dennis Gilmore.

The remainder of things to do with regards to Ruby 1.9.3 in F-17, if all 
builds and tests are successful, was considered to be -and Vit, please correct 
me if I'm wrong;

- Rebuild all other packages dependent on Ruby against

"Requires: ruby(abi) = %{ruby_abi}"

The ruby_abi macro would (initially) be provided by the ruby package in 
/etc/rpm/macros.ruby, set to the Major.Minor release of the Ruby version the 
ruby package carries,

- Update the packaging guidelines to mandate the use of "Requires: ruby(abi) = 
%{ruby_abi}" - this greatly enhances our abilities to rebuild stacks for 
different versions of Ruby.

Aside from that, we have looked over the .spec file for Ruby 1.9.3 - based on 
my .spec originally for 1.9.1, IIRC, and have decided that the use of 
/usr/{lib{,64},share}/ruby and /usr/local/{lib{,64},share}/ruby was the best 
approach.

We've also (shortly) deliberated on the other topics in the agenda Vit had 
sent out, but I'm going to let Vit report on those. I think the path to Ruby 
1.9.3 is a topic in itself and can be / has to be pursued regardless of the 
outcome of other topics.

I would like to propose, however, that in preparation of FUDCon in Blacksburg, 
which I'll be attending, Vit and myself -and others interested and able 
physically or digitally- get together in Brno for a couple of days (we would 
call this a FAD), to fully flesh out any of the remaining details in terms of 
processes (like packaging guidelines), potential problems, and further ideas.
