The Ruby new version 3.2.0 will start to support Web Assembly. It is planned to release the official version next month. https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2022/11/11/ruby-3-2-0-preview3-released/ https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/wasm/README.md However, I had to build the necessary tools such as WASI-SDK and wasmtime from the source to build Ruby as WebAssembly binaries at that time. Though I wrote about the situation on the email thread "Packaging a cross-compilation environment (wasi-libc)" in the past. I am looking forward to seeing the thrived RPM packages in the Web Assembly!

Great to see all the interest so far. Will continue to point people to this thread to collect those who are interested in being involved and will look to get the SIG rolling early in the new year.

I'm interested!

I'm interested in following along with this as well. Just learning about WebAssembly's potential at the moment. It does seem that a currently missing component is to harness fedora's infrastructure to build wasm targets and distribute wasm artifacts. Capturing the steps necessary to build and rebuild libraries is going to be necessary for automation and keeping current with security bugfixes. Distributing those updated artifacts to infrastructure-or-parties building packages which rely on them is going to be necessary to avoid wasteful duplication of effort. I just tried to build proj, which failed because it needed sqlite. I found a fork of a two-year-old release of sqlite that's been adapted to function in a peer to peer network called fluent as well as compile to webassembly. There's been 31 releases of sqlite in the interim, many of them during the year that the author of the fork was committing bugfixes to the frozen original code. As this was an exercise, I quit here because I learned all I needed to. I may go a bit further than just saying that such an effort requires the use of fedora's existing binary artifact infrastructure. You may need to create a centralized place to maintain forks of the upstream repositories which contain branches dedicated to the web assembly ports. The patching strategy currently used by rpmbuild may not be enough--I'd expect you'd need a full DVCS hub. You'll want something you control that facilitates transferring the web assembly support back up to the upstream, hence the "D". Please do add me to the list. I may not have time to do much more than think on problems, but I'm interested in following your progress.

I opened an issue for a mailing list to be created in case someone wants to follow/provide feedback. https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/11087 Zuzka On Wed, Jan 11, 2023 at 4:34 PM Michael Dawson <midawson(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote:
