Description Marián Konček 2023-06-14 14:11:04 UTC
Description of problem:
rubygem-asciidoctor is a vital package to build documentation. I would like to have it in the CRB repository at least in c9s. We use it to test documentation generation in our CI. I know it is present in the buildroot but I want to to be easily installable in the centos:stream9 container.

See for example: https://github.com/fedora-java/jurand/blob/67fb975a85cce7aa209c0490dfff1418d5db82c1/.github/workflows/ci.yaml#L26
which requires modifying the configs.

I don't object this proposal in general. Nevertheless:

1) we should make sure the RHEL package version is aligned with Fedora. Specifically, the RHEL package makes sure the test suite is enabled:

https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/rubygem-asciidoctor/-/commit/d02280e27c7fa37a92c4b3b501246ce2a7895510

where the similar change was not accepted into Fedora yet:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-asciidoctor/pull-request/6

and that in turn would mean troubles for RHEL10.

2) rubygem-asciidoctor is available in EPEL. We would need to drop the package from there. And I think the whole idea was to have the Asciidoctor available, but not block community from innovating by (possibly) keeping the Asciidoctor without updates.

Or build root would be also OK for us.

Yep, it seems it's already in the RHEL-9 buildroot, so we (TuneD maintainers) are happy :)

Comment 5 Marián Konček 2023-07-24 13:02:42 UTC
I think the package being present in EPEL / buildroot is acceptable.
