Please build rubygem-json_pure for epel8. It build fine from the F31 branch of Fedora.
Branching
Wouldn't it be better to just disable the relevant parts of the test suite, as it is already done for various other JSON implementations? https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-multi_json/blob/master/f/rubygem-multi_json.spec#_50 But this should be just EPEL specific change. I would not like to see any conditionals or what not in Fedora.
I was initially thinking of that, changing the rubygem-multi_json.spec. But, since rubygem-json_pure built so cleanly, I would rather have them both be the same as Fedora. Plus, it saves someone having to request it later on.
I don't think it is in good shape in Fedora neither there is any use for it in Fedora, since JSON is part of Ruby StdLib.
If you say so, then I will agree. It looks like the only package that really needs it in Fedora is rubygem-jgrep, and nothing depends on that. I will close this request. If anyone else requests it for something else, we will re-discuss it then.

This dependency is questionable: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-jgrep/blob/master/f/rubygem-jgrep.spec#_24 I don't think that the OP from bug 1219502 cared about JRuby, they were installed just by accident. Well, never mind anyway :)
