An update to >=2.7.0 would be appreciated for all supported releases of Fedora.
Comment 1 Vít Ondruch 2012-02-16 15:25:06 UTC 
This seems like enhancement, not bugfix, so I am not sure we should apply the patch. But I am definitely against updating the RSpec in older Fedoras.

Please note that there is already RSpec 2.8 in Fedora >= 17.
Comment 2 Marc Savy 2012-02-16 15:56:08 UTC 
If it is going to cause hassle or you think the changes are significant enough to be breakers, it'll probably save everyone effort if I just refactor (or label the offending specs as pending).
Comment 3 Mamoru TASAKA 2012-02-19 14:39:07 UTC 
2.8.0 has some significant changes on rspec-core side, so
I will say that I will definitely not upgrade rspec suites
to 2.8.0 on released branches.
Comment 4 Mamoru TASAKA 2012-02-24 01:26:05 UTC 
Once closing as WONTFIX.
Comment 5 Mamoru TASAKA 2012-02-24 01:38:48 UTC 
Note that applying the patch mentioned in the comment 0 *may* cause unexpected behavior (API) change on some other side, so unless I can be sure the patch won't change anything else but the patch is really *only* bugfix I won't apply the patch.
