Re: ruby 2.0 package updates



Hi John,

I think it's great that you did the work and you are contributing.

Maybe you can create an account on alioth and join the packaging team? (I can't speak for Antonio, but it's generally appreciated to have more hands, eyes, time.)

Hi all,

I've been doing a bit of work on the Ruby 2.0 packages. I maintain some
unofficial Ruby package builds for Ubuntu (and have been doing for
years[1]) - mostly just backporting the good work you Debian people do.

This time though I think I've got something worth feeding back upstream
and thought it was about time I got involved.

So I took Antonio Terceiro's initial work and:

* fixed some install paths
* updated symbols for i386/amd64 builds
* converted a mis-commited change to the source to a patch
* added the patch from 1.9.3 that debianizes rubygems
* updated Ruby version to 2.0.0p195

I also removed a deleted_on_clean tarballing thing, but I didn't
actually quite understand it so I might have been mistaken doing that.

I pushed the code to github:

https://github.com/brightbox/deb-ruby2.0

Is this of use like this? I don't know the best way to contribute my
work to the Debian effort. Happy for any guidance or hand holding offered :)

I've done a lot of work packaging Passenger 4 too:

https://github.com/johnl/deb-passenger/commits/passenger4

that's way more involved though, and I suspect more complicated to be
contributed back upstream. Perhaps for another thread:

https://github.com/johnl/deb-passenger/commits/passenger4

Hope some of this can be of use.

Thanks,

John.
