RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Akira TAGOH 2010-05-18 06:22:22 UTC 
Description of problem:
I'd like to propose rebasing ruby package in RHEL-6 to the latest Fedora one. upstream is currently maintaining three branches, 1.9.x (stable), 1.8.7.x, and 1.8.6.x for compatibilities and to take care of users who still uses them.
From the experience on security fixes on the deployed RHEL products, maintaining older version isn't a good idea for the updates. this requires extra costs to backport the fixes from upstream. so that would be good to sync to the latest one for the future maintenance.

Comment 5 Akira TAGOH 2010-05-24 09:18:08 UTC 
ruby-1.8.6.399-5.1.el6 has been built.
Comment 11 Jim Meyering 2010-08-13 21:55:44 UTC 
Hi Aleš,

Thanks for the info.
I built on both i686 and x86_64, and tests passed on both RHEL6 and F13.
However, that was at least a month ago.
What precise steps have you taken to get the above results?
Comment 12 Aleš Mareček 2010-08-16 08:31:06 UTC 
Hi Jim,
these followings are steps I've done:
1. download source package
2. unrpm, unbzip, untar it
3. apply all related patches
4. configure && make {,check}
Comment 14 Jim Meyering 2010-08-18 22:14:46 UTC 
Hi Aleš,

Did you run "configure && make && make check", i.e., with no configure options?
If not, please specify *exactly* what commands you used.

The .spec file uses many configure options.  I suspect that test failures resulting from even a slightly differing ./configure ... command are not relevant.
