Hi,
It is time of the year when new version of Ruby was released upstream
and we should land it in Fedora. Unfortunately, the change proposal was
approved just last Thursday and on top of that, rebase of libffi broke
Ruby (I am going to disable the failing test cases for the moment and
hope for the best). So this brings us into situation, where won't have
enough time prior Fedora Mass rebuild. I have discussed this a bit with
relengs and one of the options would be to build Ruby early during the
mass rebuild and fix the outfall later. I shared the proposal in the
Fedora Mass rebuild ticket [2]. One downside would be that in case of
problems, we could not trigger our contingency plan, which is "drop our
side tag". But I hope we won't need that.
Any thoughts?
My fist concern is that maybe we should build more then just Ruby.
rubygem-json comes to my mind and possibly rubygem-nokogiri?
