Hi, OK, those ones are going to be tough sells. First, the gems changes. The rubygems1.9.1 package used to be built from the libgems-ruby source package. But Ruby 1.9.2 broke it, so we decided to switch to using Ruby 1.9.2's rubygems for 1.9.X. That requires dropping the 1.9 package from libgems-ruby, and making changes to the ruby1.9.1 package to add the rubygems files to the ruby1.9.1 package. (full discussion in #588125) Additionally, a common complaint from rubygems users was addressed, by allowing a workaround to do "gem update --system". (Done in both packages). Then, ruby1.9.1 1.9.2.0-1. Upstream changes: We decided to switch to Ruby 1.9.2.x quite late in the release process, and the work was done during Debconf, at a time when 1.9.2 was not released yet. That's why the current squeeze version is based off an SVN snapshot. At the time of the snapshot, Ruby 1.9.2 was already in deep freeze, and all the fixes that went in since then are bugfixes. We would like to go with 1.9.2.0 instead of the SVN snapshot, as it will make it much easier to support Ruby 1.9.2 during the lifetime of squeeze. Packaging changes: - we added a build-dep to be able to build a new YAML library - some minor stuff (debian/watch, new DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS) There's still some work to do on Ruby 1.9 (#593138, #593139, #593140, #593141), but we would like to have that package in squeeze first as it already significantly get us closer from a releasable state. Changelogs: ruby1.9.1 (1.9.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=high [ Lucas Nussbaum ] * New upstream release. The 1.9.2 branch was in deep freeze at the time of the last snapshot, and all the changes between that snapshot and the present final tarball are bugfixes, as shown by svn log -r28788:HEAD http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby_1_9_2 Also, it sounds much easier to support a released version on the long term, rather than an SVN snapshot. Also fixes CVE-2010-0541. Closes: #593298. Could also improve kFreeBSD support as some changes are FreeBSD-related. * Add build-dependency on libyaml-dev to build psych, which is a new, faster YAML library provided in Ruby 1.9.2. [ Daigo Moriwaki ] * debian/watch: support new URL for Ruby 1.9.2. * debian/rules: DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nordoc" provides no-doc build for build testing. * Merged rubygems1.9.1: this package used to be provided by the libgems-ruby source package, but the version of rubygems provided by libgems-ruby is incompatible with Ruby 1.9.2. Also, Rubygems is shipped as part of Ruby. Closes: #588125 [ Lucas Nussbaum ] * Provide a way to override Debian's disabling of gem update --system by setting an environment variable. This is the same change as the one done for libgems-ruby. -- Lucas Nussbaum <lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net> Sat, 11 Sep 2010 08:38:44 +0200 libgems-ruby (1.3.7-2) unstable; urgency=high * Team upload. * Drop rubygems for 1.9.1, as it was moved to the ruby1.9.1 source package in version 1.9.2.0-1. * Provide a way to override Debian's disabling of gem update --system by setting an environment variable. This change is a compromise solution to solve long-standing user complaints about Rubygems in Debian. -- Lucas Nussbaum <lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net> Sat, 11 Sep 2010 08:07:37 +0200 unblock ruby1.9.1/1.9.2.0-1 unblock libgems-ruby/1.3.7-2 -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (700, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
