Review/testing of ruby-haml package(s)



Hello all,

I have prepared a new package for Haml that complies with the new policy
and is as good as ready to follow the transition.  However, I would
like to ask people that use Haml to review and/or test my package before
I upload it to unstable in, say, two weeks.

Firstly, Haml used to contain Sass in it's source tree, first fully,
later in a vendor directory, but now it is gone.  
I have made it so that if you install ruby-haml, ruby-sass will follow
as a recommend and you should have the same as you used to have with
libhaml-ruby.

Secondly, the tests fail because of the (broken) interplay with rails
2.0 as we deliver it in Debian right now.  Since it would require dirty
patches (and quite some time) to get it to work, I have disabled the
tests for now.  This should be replaced, IMO, by some human testing at
least.  It works fine for my uses at the moment.

Thirdly, upstream has changed a bit, and due to this and our additional
support of Ruby 1.9.1, I had to change the patches.

If your application/library uses Haml, please test with this package!
(I can think of: ruby-sass, libcompass-ruby, webgen0.5, rabbit,
ticgitweb, and libmerb-haml-ruby.  For Compass and Merb::Haml this could
be done simultaneously with their transitions, I guess.)

Cheers,
Paul

P.S. Jonas, I Cc'ed you as I am not completely sure if you are a member
  of this list.
