The book referenced above is detailed here: http://pragprog.com/titles/rails4/agile-web-development-with-rails What's the business case on this request? Well, I'm sorry but unfortunately I'd not support on this as far as possible, because: * Migrating ruby to 1.9 or even 1.8.7 isn't yet finished in even Fedora; it's being planned in f14. * need extra work on QE side to make sure functionalities and compatibilities because too much changes has been made between 1.8.6 and even 1.8.7. * also need extra work on engineering side to keep a sort of compatibilities to the past releases to not confuse users. Even though those has been released some while ago and many users outside Fedora/RHEL should uses, I believe we have to run on the same rail to see if it works for Fedora/RHEL. so I'd say this should be done in Fedora first and see how it going on. Please also include the other items built in the ruby SRPM, such as ruby-irb. List follows. Not a big deal to me if ruby-tcltk is omitted. ruby ruby-debuginfo ruby-devel ruby-docs ruby-irb ruby-libs ruby-mode ruby-rdoc ruby-ri ruby-tcltk ==== See also bug 604211 -- rubygems is required to add additional modules (such as Rails) in the ruby 1.8.x series. (rubygems is built into ruby-1.9.x.) Hi Aleš, Thanks for the testing. What type of system is that on? If I can reach it, please tell me its name. Actually, I've just reproduced both failures. The readline one is spurious. Avoid it by setting TERM=dumb in your environment: $ TERM=dumb bin/testrb test/readline/test_readline.rb ... 2 tests, 11 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors looking into the gdbm one now... readline inspects terminal ($TERM) capabilities. When possible it uses escape sequences. regarding the gdbm failure, that error message is misleading:
this test is failed on libgdbm 1.8.0.
It should say something like this instead:
this test has failed. It is expected to fail if you are using libgdbm 1.8.0
In other words, it's another poor test.
They should detect that we're using 1.8.0 and skip the test or mark it as expected-fail so it doesn't even show up as a problem.
Or perhaps, we should take this as a cue to upgrade to a newer version of gdbm, in case some of our customers are using ruby and gdbm.
Yikes! gdbm-1.8.0 is *11* years old.
See ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdbm/
The latest is gdbm-1.8.3, which is "only" 9 years old.
filing a BZ now...
Here's the gdbm BZ: gdbm-1.8.0 is way too old: upgrade to 9-yr-old 1.8.3 http://bugzilla.redhat.com/629640 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. |
