Hi,
I just packaged ruby-flores 0.0.8, a build dependency for arr-pm
0.0.12, which is a build dependency for gitlab 15.11.6
Kindly check the package out at
<https://salsa.debian.org/thegodtune/ruby-flores>
Please review and sponsor. Thank you!
By the description of arr-pm, "Written in pure ruby because librpm is
not available on all systems". We already have librpm[1] in archive.
Perhaps we can depend on that ?
Also I am not sure why gitlab will be handling rpm packages, unless
its a core functionality I guess we can remove it.
Both suggestions would require more work/ruby skills and long term
maintenance from us. Compared to that updating a ruby gem is lower
barrier.
gitlab allows hosting deb/rpm repos from ci so we shouldn't disable it.
thanks.
