Bug#661187: potential ITP: ruby-hiera -- a hierarchical data store for ruby (and puppet)

["Patrick Ringl" <Patrick.Ringl@gmx.de>]

Hi,

the reason gem2deb (or rather the resulting build) fails is quite simple:

'by default' it'll not honour rake tests, thus it'll try to run the testsuite with all the files listed, instead of encapsulating it into a proper rake task.

Thus I'd suggest replacing debian/ruby-tests.yaml with debian/ruby-tests.rake with the following content:

require 'rspec/core/rake_task'

RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new(:test) do |t|
        t.pattern = 'spec/**/*_spec.rb'
        t.rspec_opts = File.read("spec/spec.opts").chomp || ""
end

task :default => [:test]


+ honouring 'rake' and 'rspec' as Build-Depend


Yet, due to (an already fixed) upstream regression in their testsuite and partly in code it'll not build/run with 1.9.1 tho.

I am (still) a member of pkg-ruby-extras (at least I hope so :P), so I'd really love to maintain hiera (since I also use it myself). So the questions remains:

building 0.3.0 or waiting for 1.0 to get stable (rc3 has been released ~25 days ago).


@PREM: what do you think? :-)



regards,
Patrick
