Importing old versions was refused. @Stephan Kulow Ad. "a) put some pressure on upstream not to require an outdated version" [1] But it will lead to package not available until upstream releases 2.0. I've contacted upstream in the past and message was clear: "Right now I am minimizing any more investment in 1.5.x because the focus is on the 2.0 release. If you submit a PR and verify that it works without changing any tests, then I would accept it." [2] I raised this issue [3], but expect the answer: "do it yourself or wait for 2.0". Debian somehow managed to ignore dependencies for prawn and ttfunk [4], but they use prawn 2.3.0 and ttfunk 1.6.2.1. They also fix concurrent-ruby dependency (was not needed for us) and just simply remove prawn-templates [5] insted of packaging it (legal issues?), but none of these two seems to be relevant for us. Not sure if this will work on our prawn 2.4.0 and ttfunk 1.7.0, but I can give it try (I guess section :patches: in gem2rpm.yml) if this is acceptable for openSUSE and will work.
