 Since I originally submitted this package upstream has dropped support for
 rails 2.3, and Fedora has moved on to Ruby 1.9.3. Both of these changes
 make it more difficult to maintain this old rails. Further, many projects
 that required rails 2.3 have now moved on to rails 3 as well, like
 redmine. The usefulness of rails 2.3 in Fedora has diminished.

 Note that rails version 3 (the upstream supported version) is already in
 Fedora for some time.

 rubygem-activesupport2.3 is part of rails 2.3. The remaining packages
 required for rails are still in review requests. (This is part of the
 reason I am giving up on rails 2.3).

 Thanks
