Dear Mamoru,

Sorry for being non-responsive. I was pondering what to do about this, because frankly, we have not used the opportunity to update the `rubygems` package for ages. But since you have already spend the time to update the .spec, it makes easy to put off the retirement :) Thanks for the PR, it looks good to me and please proceed.

Subject: List of long term FTBFS packages to be retired in March

Dear maintainers.

Based on the current fail to build from source policy, the following packages
will be retired frrom rawhide cca on 2026-03-03.

This is the third reminder.

Policy:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/

The packages in rawhide were not successfully built at least since Fedora 41.

This report is based on dist tags.

Packages collected via:
https://github.com/hroncok/fedora-report-ftbfs-retirements/blob/master/ftbfs-retirements.ipynb

If you see a package that was built, please let me know.
If you see a package that should be exempted from the process,
please let me know and we can work together to get a FESCo approval for that.

If you see a package that can be rebuilt, please do so.

How will we handle this?
Although fixing rubygems.src FTBFS may not strictly needed (which means rubygems.src is to be retired on 2026-Mar), I think it is good (or not bad) that keeping rubygems.src alone buildable
so that when desired we can update rubygems.src alone.

For now I've prepared for updating rubygems.src to 4.0.6:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygems/pull-request/5

Mass rebuild for the above rubygems seems in good state:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygems/pull-request/5

Note that 2026-Feb-17 is Fedora 44 beta freeze, and if possible I want to put in
rubygems 4.0.6 into Fedora 44 before the above day.



For now, once I am going to update rubygems.src to 4.0.3 to resolve FTBFS + keep current
rubygems behavior unchanged compared to rubygems.noarch from ruby.src,
maybe tomorrow before F43-beta-freeze.

Regards,
Mamoru
