> I'd like to help. How does one do that? What does one need to be able to
help? Get a running Rawhide install and use mock/rpmbuild?
We created an etherpad for the f21 rebuild[1],
please assign yourself to the packages you are going to rebuild.
Apart from mock, you can use scratch build:
~/projects/fermig/update.rb rubygem-name.spec
fedpkg scratch-build --srpm --target=f21-ruby
This will change the obvious + try to build it in Koji with f21-ruby target.
Then you can commit to master and run the build (also with the target).
Thank you for offering your help.
Well, you guys are light-years ahead of me. I am a beginner at this Fedora stuff. I've
only done this for my own repo and koji cooker. My koji is older and runs on RHEL 5. So I
will be asking what seem like dumb questions, but it's really I have no idea of what
you guys are talking about.
I don't own any packages of anything.
I have never used the Fedora Koji system for anything but I am versed in Koji usage b/c I
have my own. Is account perms and creation synced with the FeSCO account I created a while
back? i.e. can I do scratch builds? But if the build works in mock, there's a high
probability it will work in Koji but every now and then, that's not true.
I don't know what fermig is.
I have never heard of etherpad. Would I be able to do what you've asked without
accounts and whatnot?
I don't know what pkgdb is.
I thought I was signing up getting all the Fedora "gems" (i.e. rubygem-*)
built/confirmed with Ruby 2.1.1 and RubyGems 2.2.2. Is that not what I signed up for? ;-)
There's a lot in that list I am familiar with: typhoeus, nokogiri, therubyracer, ffi,
hpricot, thin, syck, gherkin. Some of these look like they might be deprecated...
Also, you are missing my favorite: bundler. You'll need updated Thor and rpsec
3.0.0.beta2 for it to pass its tests.
I do most of my work in mock but every now and then I do have use rpmbuild --rebuild on an
install of the target OS to solve issues. So I should have a rawhide VM installed, right?
Just in case...
Is there somewhere you guys can send complete Fedora n00bies?
