Hi, I had planned to have a go at packaging MRI 2.0~preview1, however after watching some rubyconf videos I got interested in rubinius again so I looked into updating the existing packaging work to the 2.0.0~rc1 release. The latest work is in my github account at [1].
It's more or less at the same point that Antonio reached in September 2011 - it builds and works, but needs more work to conform to policy. I'm happy to keep working on it, but I have some questions: * there are 7 vendored C libraries in vendor/. 5 of them look like they're used during compilation. Some are available in debian, but it looks like their might be some non-standard modifications to at least some of them. What's the recommended approach here? * There's some preinstalled gems, so we have the same "circular dependency" issue as MRI 2.0.0. For now I'm excluding these from the package. * the binary packages are lintian clean except for a set of hardening-related warnings. The warnings are hardening-no-fortify-functions and hardening-no-relro. Does anyone have advice on how to resolve these? cheers James [1] https://github.com/yob/debian-rubinius -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
