Re: Minitest / Mocha / Shoulda

Just FTR, the Minitest / Mocha issues has been mostly resolved by now. I have left untouched a few leaf packages, which would be better to be removed from Fedora. And a few others, which I believe will be fixed by their packager, if they wish (but these kind of fall into the first category anyway). I have also updated shoulda / shoulda-context and I'll take this opportunity and try to remove all dependencies on rubygem-shoulda, subsequently dropping it altogether (however leaving the shoulda-context around). Let me explain. rubygem-shoulda is metapackage and 1) As far as I remember, it is not always very well maintained upstream and I think that upstream also suggested using the shoudla-* packages instead. As an example, we have shoulda-matchers 5.x in Fedora but the meta package still depends on version 4.x 2) They still don't support Rails 7 officially. 3) They have introduced new test dependency called `snowball`, which is responsible for creating new Rails apps for their test suite. This in theory is nice, but it introduces a lot of assumptions (e.g. gems are installed from rubygems.org), which are hard to influence on the consumer side. So the Shoulda test suite is essentially disabled now. 4) It seems that there is not much package using shoulda left around. When I started this was the list: ~~~ rubygem-jekyll-0:4.3.2-2.fc39.src rubygem-unf-0:0.1.4-22.fc39.src rubygem-webrobots-0:0.1.2-16.fc39.src ~~~ As it turns out, all these are fine with just shoulda-context. 5) We will also be able to drop shoulda-matchers later. 6) This will simplify dependency chain, improve package build speed a bit.
