Bug#722378: [DRE-maint] Bug#722378: Updating the Ruby packaging policy for your package «libsnmp-ruby»

tags 722378 + pending
thanks

Thank you very much for your work!

I'm tagging this bug as 'pending'. Once 722437 is dealt with, can I
ask you to close 722378?

Of course, in some time I'll go over the list and close whatever needs
to be closed... But given you will get notice for this, you might be
able to answer faster. I am unsure whether the bug will be auto-closed
once the package it affects is removed.

Thanks!

 Hi Aurélien GÉRÔME,

 As you may know, during the Wheezy release cycle, the pkg-ruby-extras
 team¹ has worked to update the Ruby libraries/modules/gems packages to
 follow a new policy, much easier for the maintainers (as we no longer
 require a separate package for each interpreter version), to the
 archive (as it strongly reduces code duplication), and much more
 sensical to the users (as they no longer require to fiddle with which
 among many almost-identical binary packages to install).

 While we achieved a quite good success level during the Wheezy cycle²,
 we decided to act only on the packages maintained by the group — There
 are many Ruby library packages maintained by kind people (like
 yourself!) which have not yet adopted this new style. According to our
 records, you are currently maintaining the package:

   libsnmp-ruby

 I am sending this report as part of a mass-bug-filing.³ Some useful
 information you might find useful:

 • Ruby team release goals for Jessie⁵

 • About the Ruby team — Please consider joining!⁶

 • Part of the new policy involves running the package's tests. Here is
   a swift introduction on what it means and how to do it:

 Thanks a lot for your attention!
