Hi list,
I am currently trying to package a Rubygem that has no upstream release
yet (and that will probably stay like that for a while). Thus, I need to
build the gem myself.
I am facing now the following issues:
- The gem's version needs to be patched, so that it gets the git commit
as a suffix, thus making it apparent that it's a git snapshot.
- I need this gem to land in openSUSE:Factory, so it needs to adhere to
stricter rules.
My first try is currently in d:l:r:e:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:ruby:extensions/ruby...
This has unfortunately the following problems preventing a submission to
Factory:
1. The patches in the repository are for adding them on top of the git
repository to build the gem, which is then fed into gem2rpm. Thus
they are not needed in the spec file, which makes the check script
decline this.
2. As there is no upstream gem yet on rubygems.org, the factory check
script cannot download the source from the URL that gem2rpm
generates.
I have tried to include just a snapshot of the upstream repository as
the source and build the gem during %build. Unfortunately this makes
%gem_install fail, because it expects to have a gem tracked in the
repository.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to proceed?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
