Spec URL: http://www.sh0n.net/spstarr/fedora/rubygem-xmlparser/rubygem-xmlparser.spec SRPM URL: http://www.sh0n.net/spstarr/fedora/rubygem-extlib/rubygem-xmlparser-0.6.81-1.fc16.src.rpm Description: Ruby bindings for Expat Comments/review is certainly requested, this .gem from rubygems.org is badly built (missing files in the .gem itself but installs) but this is all we get unless we roll our own .gem. Also note, the original author now has 0.7.2 but there is no .gem created and no other distros are packaging 0.7.2 (or know about it?) This can be found here: http://www.yoshidam.net/Ruby.html This package is needed for upcoming OpenNebula 3.0 support.
In addition, the .gem does not provide Encoding support and if we do want this, we need 0.7.2. I do not know of Fedora's policy for packaging non-gem .gem packages vs .gem packages. We could roll our own .gem of 0.7.2. but I don't know the policy of this.
Shawn, are you aware of this request ? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=719854 Same context. This gem is actually needed for ONE 2.2 already. If it's not there the performance is really bad. I wonder if this new bug is a duplicate.
Its needed for OpenNebula 3.0 (not released yet), I am working with upstream, although it's interesting someone else is trying to package this :) i don't care who wants to own it, we need it as a dependency however 2.2 and 3.0.
<jmelis> first beta is scheduled for beginning of next week <jmelis> after that will come a beta2 <jmelis> and a release candidate <jmelis> OpenNebula 3.0 final is scheduled for end of august
Close it, will focus on other dependencies needed to get OpenNebula 3.0 into Fedora. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 719854 ***
