Hi all fellow rubyists,
I am pleased to announce that we now have the latest version of the Ruby on
Rails framework (4.1)
packaged in Fedora[1, 2]. You may have noticed we did the update alongside the
Ruby 2.1 rebuild
as this was the most convenient.
The big success for us is the usage of the new version of tzinfo gem which by
default depend on
the system zoneinfo files. Other notable changes are Minitest 5 (which we
already discussed) and
the new gems rubygem-actionview and rubygem-spring.
Today I updated depending gems that are compatible with Rails 4.1 in their
latest versions[3].
Those that don't support newest Rails yet remain broken. If I forgot on any
gem, please remind me.
You can install rails and the default gems from the newly-generated Gemfile by
running*:
`yum install
rubygem-{rails,sqlite3,coffee-rails,sass-rails,uglifier,jquery-rails,turbolinks,jbuilder,therubyracer,sdoc,spring}`
Afterwards,
`rails new _app_ --skip-bundle && cd _app_ && bundle --local`
will avoid the need of downloading upstream gems.
And this brings me to another great thing. By updating to the latest RubyGems
we got a working
upstream version of Bundler which means updating Bundler by `gem update
bundler` is now safe && sane!
Hope you will like the changes as much as I do :).
Happy Weekend
Josef
