Hi everyone,
Thanks for those who attended our BoF last week, below is a copy&paste
of the notes we took on the etherpad to also keep a record here in our
mailing list:
======================================
# Ruby team BoF

- Ruby 3.1 transition
+ Could it start in unstable after 25 August (Debian import freeze
in Ubuntu)?
+ Useful changelog https://rubyreferences.github.io/rubychanges/3.1.html
+ Rebuild of reverse dependencies
- https://people.debian.org/~kanashiro/ruby3.1/
- Only 33 build failures \o/reasonably low number of failures
several of them are related to the fact that Psych now uses
safe_load behavior for load, and the class Gem::specification is not
allowed to be parsed with psych by gem2deb.
/usr/bin/ruby3.1
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/gem2deb/extension_builder.rb /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>
debian/ruby-fusefs
* /usr/lib/ruby/3.1.0/psych/class_loader.rb:99:in `find': Tried to
load unspecified class: Gem::Specification (Psych::DisallowedClass)
These are for packages having a metadata.yml file and a binary
extension. The fix should go in gem2deb for that
* - TODO: document how to the mass rebuilds and do the bug filing
- NEW in gem2deb 2.0
* - cross building support
* - debhelper-compat support
* - build, test and install as separate debian/rules targets for
debhelper-compat 14
- Praveen will be doing less work on ruby packagesdue to the termination
of the Gitlab financial support
- rails will be affected
- security team not happy about the state of rails in stable
- opencollective.com/debian-gitlab
- need to get the right people to pitch in there
- RuboCop::Packaging update! \o/
* - https://github.com/utkarsh2102/rubocop-packaging/
* - https://rubygems.org/gems/rubocop-packaging
- Next sprint ?
* - initial target: Jan 2023 (adjacent to FOSDEM ifFOSDEM happens)
- Sponsoring work
- Goals for the next release ?
- ruby3.1
- rails 6.1.4 -> 6.1.6(or latest 6.x release by November or so)
- not rails 7 for bookworm
- Briefly look at bugs
There are a certain number of patterns:
- omniauth related bugs
- coffeescript related bugs (nanoc, ruby-hamlit, ruby-sprocket,...)
- bugs with errors: FTBFS: installing symlink 'XXX' pointing to
parent path /usr/share/javascript/XXX of
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/ruby-jquery-atwho-rails/usr/share/rubygems-integration/all/gems/XXX
is not allowed
