Yes. I do not plan to backport anything. Its going to be complex change anyway. Vit Dne 22.9.2011 08:50, Philip Rhoades napsal(a):

We may even request a ruby-193 rawhide koji build tag/target for this with Release Engineering - or in other words, Dennis Gilmore. The remainder of things to do with regards to Ruby 1.9.3 in F-17, if all builds and tests are successful, was considered to be -and Vit, please correct me if I'm wrong; - Rebuild all other packages dependent on Ruby against "Requires: ruby(abi) = %{ruby_abi}" The ruby_abi macro would (initially) be provided by the ruby package in /etc/rpm/macros.ruby, set to the Major.Minor release of the Ruby version the ruby package carries, - Update the packaging guidelines to mandate the use of "Requires: ruby(abi) = %{ruby_abi}" - this greatly enhances our abilities to rebuild stacks for different versions of Ruby. Aside from that, we have looked over the .spec file for Ruby 1.9.3 - based on my .spec originally for 1.9.1, IIRC, and have decided that the use of /usr/{lib{,64},share}/ruby and /usr/local/{lib{,64},share}/ruby was the best approach. We've also (shortly) deliberated on the other topics in the agenda Vit had sent out, but I'm going to let Vit report on those. I think the path to Ruby 1.9.3 is a topic in itself and can be / has to be pursued regardless of the outcome of other topics. I would like to propose, however, that in preparation of FUDCon in Blacksburg, which I'll be attending, Vit and myself -and others interested and able physically or digitally- get together in Brno for a couple of days (we would call this a FAD), to fully flesh out any of the remaining details in terms of processes (like packaging guidelines), potential problems, and further ideas. -- Kind regards, -- kanarip
