Hi, yesterday we migrated devel:languages:ruby:backports [1] and devel:languages:ruby [2] to the new ruby packaging scheme. my personal test projects [3] show, that this gives us a working base. So now it is the time to fix all the old cruft we have in d:l:r:e. Some packages havent been touched since 5+years and still have the packaging schema from back then.
Preparation ============= # add devel:languages:ruby:backports as repository to your distro if you # are not on factory: $ zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/ruby:/backports/openSUSE_13.1/devel:languages:ruby:backports.repo $ zypper in ruby2.0-rubygem-gem2rpm # # script attached. if you are not on 13.1 you have to update the path to # the template. # $ mv g2r ~/bin/g2r ; chmod a+rx ~/bin/g2r Fixing a single package ========================= # # Inside the package working copy # $ g2r # # check if we lost any important fields like license, buildrequires, # custom descriptions. # $ osc diff # # if we lost anything copy gem2rpm.yml and move the lost bits into the # config. Hint: the old spec file is still in the .osc directory. # $ cp /usr/share/doc/packages/ruby2.0-rubygem-gem2rpm/gem2rpm.yml . # port port port $ g2r # # changes entry # $ osc vc -m 'update to new packaging scheme and add gem2rpm.yml' $ osc addremove $ osc build ... $ osc ci Bonus Points ============== If the gem2rpm.yml only holds the license for the package, file a pull request upstream to add the license to the gemspec. rubygems also recommends spdx format, which will make out life a lot easier. [4] Known Issues ============== For now please ignore build failures on SLE 11 SP3, if the symptoms are "unpackaged files found". There is a bug in rpm which cuts off the output generated by scripts in macros.
