Done, updated actionpack rpm here:

http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/rubygem-actionpack-2.3.8-2.fc13.src.rpm

I believe actionpack should work with rack 1.2.x as indicated by this 
upstream commit

http://github.com/rails/rails/commit/f3bb185b03e746b52a4035a6df002597d8552e74

Should there be some issues when we update rack, most likely they will 
just entail finding the upstream commits which fix those and apply them 
to the rpm (if not just rebasing the rpm itself to a more updated 
actionpack version with the fixes included).

The way I did it should work against both 1.2.4 and 1.3.1 since both 
define Version::STRING, where as only version 1.3.1 defines 
Version::VERSION.

Regardless, your way also works, and with the goal of getting these 
updates into Fedora asap, I updated the SRPM which can be found here:
