Drop work on actionpack 3.2 (and Rails 3.2, and Ruby 1.8.7). :-) But given that sid has ruby1.8 and ruby1.9.1, and you appear to be doing the early work towards rails 4.0 (excellent!), why not make both ruby-rack1.5 and ruby-rack1.6 available?Having multiple versions of anything is a pain, and I think we should making that problem even bigger.
Well, we have a problem then. As a hunch, while trying to reproduce the following problem:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-ruby/2013/06/msg00056.html... I went back to my "host" machine, reran those instructions using rails 3.2, then updated actionpack to require version 1.5.2 of rack, and I got the same symptoms I am seeing on Debian sid.
The problem seems to be that request methods used to return symbols, and now return strings. This causes some lookups to fail Resulting, in among other things, session being nil in tests.
ruby1.8 is going to be dropped for jessie.
Excellent!
Maybe we will also drop rails 3.2, but since rails 4 is not ready yet we need to keep one rails working. :-)
Understood. Hopefully Rails 4 will release before Jessie. - Sam Ruby
