Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 982675
Spurious siteconf temporary file created by gem install
Last modified: 2013-07-24 20:43:07 EDT
Description of problem: When doing a gem install of a native gem that calls a Makefile, an additional file is created in the installation directory that appears to be a by-product of the ext build process. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ruby-2.0.0.195-8.fc19.x86_64 ruby-libs-2.0.0.195-8.fc19.x86_64 rubygems-2.0.3-1.fc19.noarch How reproducible: Always on F19 with rubygems 2. Steps to Reproduce: 1. gem install mysql 2. ls -l /usr/local/share/gems/gems/mysql-2.9.1/ext/mysql_api/siteconf*rb Actual results: # gem install mysql Fetching: mysql-2.9.1.gem (100%) Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed mysql-2.9.1 Parsing documentation for mysql-2.9.1 Installing ri documentation for mysql-2.9.1 Done installing documentation for mysql after 0 seconds 1 gem installed # ls -l /usr/local/share/gems/gems/mysql-2.9.1/ext/mysql_api/siteconf*rb -rw-------. 1 root root 254 Jul 9 14:30 /usr/local/share/gems/gems/mysql-2.9.1/ext/mysql_api/siteconf20130709-29615-uujzbf.rb Expected results: no siteconf*rb file Additional info: Fixed by upstream (pending) PR: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/587
Fixed in rubygems 2.0.4, just released: http://blog.rubygems.org/2013/07/09/2.0.4-released.html ("Cleaned up siteconf between extension build and extension install. Pull request #587 by Dominic Cleal")
Okay, now I am thinking of upgrading rubygems to 2.0.4, however at first I want to see how Vít think about bug 979133 (yeah, ruby / rubygems on Fedora really needs some cleanup...)
RubyGems update should be ok. Some patches were even accepted upstream, so it should be a bit better now. BTW 2.0.5 were released already.
Well, it seems 2.0.5 needs some patches (binary extension installation fails...) I am preparing.
