Ruby 1.9.3 rebuild started!

[Bohuslav Kabrda]

Hi,
I added updated versions (3.0.11) of rails-related packages to my repo. They are only available as SRPMS at [1], I didn't create git repos this time. Please, whoever starts updating these packages first, prefer the new 3.0.11 version over the older 3.0.10.

Regards, Bohuslav.

> 4) $ git reset HEAD rubygem-foo.spec
> 5) $ git checkout -p -- rubygem-foo.spec

> === MiniTest ===
> If you are using MiniTest for testing of your packages (i.e. you are
> executing the test suite using "testrb"), you need to add
> "BuildRequires: rubygem(minitest)" into your package, since we moved
> MiniTest into the separate gem.
> 
> === Gems with binary extensions ===
> If you have gem with binary extension (i.e. unless your gem is
> noarch),
> then please note that .srpms available in [3] do not reflect our
> recent
> packaging guidelines draft [6] yet. Therefore, please check the
> guidelines and update you package accordingly, e.g. after updates,
> you
> should have in your .spec file lines similar to following:
> 
> mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{gem_extdir}/foo
> mv %{buildroot}%{gem_instdir}/foo/shared_object.so
> %{buildroot}%{gem_extdir}/foo/shared_object.so
> 
> and you package must own the %{gem_extdir}.
> 
> === Packages already available in tag ===
> If you are interested what packages are built already, you can check
> it
> using following command:
> 
> $ koji list-tagged f17-ruby
> 
> === Build dependencies ===
> If you build prerequisites for some package, don't forget that you
> have
> to wait for repository update. You can use either
> 
> $ fedpkg chain-build
> 
> to build whole package dependency chain or
> 
> $ koji wait-repo dist-rawhide --build=rubygem-foo-1.0-1.fc17
> 
> 
> 
> Once again, please rebuild your package ASAP to allow your fellow
> Rubyists rebuild their dependencies. Thank you for your
> collaboration.
