> On the other hand, you'll be able to build the Ruby only on F21+

> but this is generally step in good direction. I hope that upstream will
> not change their mind :) Due to this change, we have new subpackages
> rubygem-test-unit (and rubygem-power_assert, which is now Test::Unit's
> dependency). No more %{_bindir}/testrb (but nobody is using it these
> days anyway, right? ;)

> * Some prevailing test failures were resolved, some others introduced,
