Could you please build rubygem-activerecord for el6. I tried a mock build and did not encounter any problems. Scratch build in Koji works fine as well - https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2712333
We're still evaluating which version of the Rails stack will go into EL6. There quite a push for Rails 3, which means the version of AR would be 3 also.
Any progress on this in the past 6 months?

It has been over a year. What is taking so long?
Any pointers to discussions users could weigh in on?
2.3.8 version of the Rails stack is available at http://rpm.razorsedge.org/ in the EL6 testing repo: http://rpm.razorsedge.org/centos-6/RE-test/
I don't think building AR at 2.3.8 would be a good idea. the Active Libraries have had many security issues over the last 2 years, and attempting to maintain them in EPEL for another 5 or so years seems like it wouldn't go well. I'm happy to give commit rights (or lobby for them) to another packager to do so.
