Bug#741459: release.debian.org: ignore SSL bug in ruby1.9.1 and ruby2.0
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Dear Release Team,
#736287 and #736289 are about the same bug, broken upstrea default
settings for SSL connections in Ruby; this bug is present in ruby1.9.1,
ruby2.0 and ruby2.1. We agree that this is a real bug, but it's not a
regression.
The Ruby team intends to transition to ruby2.1 for jessie, incl.
removal of ruby1.9.1 and ruby2.0 before the freeze. As such we hope
that upstream comes up with a fix for 2.1, otherwise I promise to
come up with a patch; but in any case I see little value in fixing
the bug in all three packages when we want to kill two of them sooner
than later.
Also, there have been changes in dependencies, which right now means
(I think) that src:ruby-defaults, ruby1.9.1 and ruby2.0 have to migrate
to testing in one batch.
Therefore I'd like to request a jessie-ignore tag for the above
mentioned bugs.
Thank you,
Christian
