gem2deb has become the standard way all ruby modules are packaged in Debian. So dropping it now just means delaying it for later. Eventually puppet's dependencies will likely all need to build-depend on it and we'll be back in this corner:
Depends: ruby1.8, libxmlrpc-ruby, libopenssl-ruby, libshadow-ruby1.8, libaugeas-ruby1.8, adduser, facter, lsb-base, sysv-rc (>= 2.87) | file- rc I would expect libshadow-ruby1.8 and libaugeas-ruby1.8 to eventually be ported to the new format using gem2deb, as it has become "ruby policy". Given the importance of gem2deb to Debian ruby policy, I think its worth at least taking a cursory look at those reverse deps now, rather than just dropping ruby-selinux. Part of the issue is just that gem2deb makes the problem look worse than it is. all of the ruby-rspec* things are just one code base that gets split into multiple "gems" and thus shipped as multiple source packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/894827 Title: [MIR] gem2deb To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gem2deb/+bug/894827/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
