And one more thing:
I have all the specs and new patches ready, so I will put them some place public so that
you can download them and use them when testing something or when actually migrating to
Ruby 1.9.3 some time (hopefully soon).

Subject: Ruby 1.9.3 rebuild
Hi guys,
as Mamoru noted on one of my bugzillas for build failures with Ruby
1.9.3, I decided I will move all the agenda here for the time being.
I have been working past two weeks on rebuild of all the
Ruby/Rubygems dependent packages and got some failures. There are
basically two types of problematic packages (most of the packages
work ok, so we shouldn't run into any serious problems):
1) Packages that work in some way, but some tests fail - I usually
reported the failures upstream or proposed the patches/fixes/pull
requests.
2) Packages with C extensions/C bindings that even fail to build due
to changes in the Ruby 1.9.3 C API. Unluckily, some of these are no
longer maintained by upstream and we will have to decide what to do.
The still maintained, I also reported upstream.
So I'm going to stop reporting this to bugzilla until we (hopefully)
get a special tag in Koji, so that we can solve as many problems as
we can here. The only thing we need to do here is to decide what to
do with packages that don't work and their upstreams are
dead/unresponsive. So for each of them, I will write a separate mail
to this mailing list, including the detailed info on how it failed
and my suggestion what to do with that and we may have a talk about
it. For some of the packages I already created Bugzillas, so we can
solve those there and not duplicate them on this list.
I hope you all like this idea and that you are ok with it.
Regards,
Bohuslav.
