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 Vít Ondruch 2012-06-08 08:20:28 UTC 
New Ruby 1.8.7 point release is about to come this month. Since it might be the last regular release [2], I think it might sense to rebase Ruby to the latest and greatest 1.8.7 version. This version should not introduce any API/ABI incompatibilities, so it should be safe to update.

Comment 1 Vít Ondruch 2012-06-08 08:24:19 UTC 
Also please note that recent releases were typically just bug or security fixes and we carry the patches already, so this would help to cleanup the patches a bit.

Comment 4 Vít Ondruch 2013-03-28 09:48:37 UTC 
There should be released the *LAST* ruby 1.8.7 release at end of May. After that, Ruby 1.8.7 reaches its EOL. Would be nice to have it in RHEL.

Comment 6 Lars Hecking 2013-07-02 11:08:00 UTC 
Vít,

When you clean up patches, you need to remove this one completely:

# Source100: contains ext/tk directory of the head of ruby_1_8 branch
# i.e. http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby_1_8
# see bug 560053, 590503, and
# http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/ruby-sig/2010-May/000096.html
Source100:      ruby-1.8-rev%{tk_using_svn_number}_trunk-ext_tk.tar.gz

It dates back to 1.8.6 and is clearly superseded by 1.8.7. We ran into problems with ruby-1.8.7.352-10 tcltk.so (on CentOS, admittedly, but it's definitely an upstream bug :), and rebuilding the rpm with this patch disabled fixed it.

Thanks.

Thanks for the report. I'll look into it if I get chance.
Comment 8 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-14 00:37:01 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
