Comment 2 Mamoru TASAKA 2012-10-16 00:24:13 UTC

F-18 F-17: already in queue

F-16 seems unaffected (I cannot reproduce this). Can someone confirm this?

Comment 3 Vít Ondruch 2012-10-16 10:34:08 UTC

I cannot reproduce with F16, so F16 should be OK.

Comment 4 Vít Ondruch 2012-10-16 10:36:09 UTC

@Mamoru: Could you please reference this bug in Bodhi updates? Thank you.

> @Mamoru: Could you please reference this bug in Bodhi updates? Thank you.

I don't want to edit bodhi requests which were already pushed into testing, because bodhi shows warnings like "Adding or removing builds from this update will move it back to a pending state" (this does not say about only editing comments, however I am not sure if editing comments only is really safe).

Comment 6 Vít Ondruch 2012-10-16 11:49:44 UTC

OK, np ... so may be this should move into MODIFIED state at least.

Comment 7 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2012-10-19 07:38:04 UTC

This issue did not affect the version of ruby as shipped with Fedora-16.

This issue was fixed in Fedora-17, via the following security advisory:

Comment 8 Mamoru TASAKA 2012-10-24 15:27:24 UTC

Fixed on F-18, 17 (not affected on F-16), closing.
