Project:Ruby/Pending Bumps

A irregularly updated list of pending ruby version bumps for the main tree can be found here: outdated-gems. Not all packages on that list are straightforward to bump. This list collects notes on packages that have issues and need more work to be bumped. Feel free to help tackle any of these issues!

rabbit 2.0.5

 * New dependency on rttool and hikidoc now mandatory dependency, some utilities split out into separate packages.
 * rttool has problems with testing its rdtool integration
 * Only distributed as gem

webgen 0.5.17

 * Fails tests.

adhearsion 2.3.5

 * Many new unpackaged dependencies: adhearsion-loquacious, celluloid → timers, countdownlatch, deep_merge, future-resource, girl_friday, has-guarded-handlers, logging, punchblock → (blather, niceogiri, ruby_ami, ruby_fs, state_machine), ruby_speech

amqp 1.0.2

 * Fails tests on ruby 1.9.3

arel 4.0.0

 * Tests pass but testrb-2 still exits with an error code.

arrayfields 4.9.0

 * Fails tests on ruby19, ruby20: https://github.com/ahoward/arrayfields/issues/3

async_sinatra 1.1.0

 * Fails due to broken Sinatra app recognition

attic 0.5.3

 * Upstream tag name format changed
 * Fails tests: https://github.com/delano/attic/issues/1

barby 0.5.1

 * Not tagged upstream.

bitescript-0.1.2

 * requires ASM 4, which is said to be available starting from JRuby 1.6.1, but even on 1.6.7 it doesn't work; JRuby _should_ be able to build with ASM 4 but it seems not to. Fails with jruby 1.6.7.2.

bson

 * versions 1.6.3 and 1.6.4 have broken API, and that's a nasty one.

crack 0.4.0

 * New dependency on unpackaged safe_yaml

css_parser 1.3.4

 * Many test failures on jruby.

em-http-request 1.1.0

 * depends on mongrel 1.2.0-pre2 which we won't add because it is a pre-release version.
 * now also depends on beta version of http_parser.rb

faraday 0.8.7
The new test system seem to be based off a script that starts an HTTP server, run the tests and stop it. It sounds to me like it's a bit of a mess, and I couldn't get it to run.


 * Test script works for me but doesn't use exit codes, so we can't use it.
 * Needs newer version of em-http-request than what we have in tree.
 * Gem no longer contains all the source files.

ffi 1.9.0

 * Fails tests: https://github.com/ffi/ffi/issues/273

haml 4.0.3

 * Fails tests due to missing rubinius? method.

hoe 3.5.1

 * hoe 3.0.8 fails with documentation building and running tests:
 * Documentation: https://github.com/seattlerb/hoe/issues/25
 * Probably easier to work around this by building documentation directly
 * hoe 3.0.5 fails tests with ruby18 when using the gem18 command. Could be related to our way of packaging things.
 * We should probably just skip this test. We used to patch this but the regexps have gotten more complicated.
 * hoe 3.0.2 fails tests with jruby.
 * hoe 2.15.0 (last version before introduction of Gem.bin_wrapper approach) fails tests
 * hoe 3.5.1 has an automagic dependency on flog while testing, and requires a version we don't have yet.
 * We should include flog as a test dependency, but need to wait until that version is available in gentoo

jruby-openssl 0.8.4

 * Fails tests
 * Rake tasks for testing no longer exist. Hard to see how test suite could actually work.

jwt 0.1.8

 * Fails tests on non-existing MultiJson::LoadError, needs multi_json 1.5.1 even though gemspec says 1.5.0 should work as well.

listen 1.2.2

 * Fails test about too long unix socket path.

map 6.5.1

 * Fails tests with syntax errors, most likely broken ruby 1.8 compatibility: https://github.com/ahoward/map/issues/20

mechanize 2.7.1

 * New dependency on unpackaged http-cookie

mixlib-log 1.6.0

 * Not tagged upstream.

moneta 0.7.15

 * New home at https://github.com/minda/moneta
 * Many non-optional tests for things we have not packaged.
 * Pulling in all things we *do* package will add a ton of dependencies.
 * Tests depend on rspec-retry which is not packaged yet.

mongo 1.6.4

 * See bson

mongoid

 * Version 2.4.11 is just restricting the dependency to bson 1.6.2 as the later versions have changed API badly (they should be called 1.7); since we're not bumping bson, this won't be a problem for the moment;
 * Version 3.0 is Ruby 1.9 -only (and JRuby in 1.9 mode) and is requiring more work.

msgpack 0.5.5

 * Tests hang with ruby 1.8.7

multi_json 1.7.2

 * Fails tests, probably due to lacking Oj package which is the preferred JSON provider.
 * Oj fails tests and has a non-standard license

narray 0.6.0.8

 * Fails tests: https://github.com/masa16/narray/issues/37

nokogiri 1.5.9

 * Fails test, seems to depend on bundled 2.8.0 behavior that is broken. Note that 2.8.0 has security issues.
 * Nokogiri 1.6.0 now has a runtime dependency on mini_portile which tries to manage compiling external dependencies (e.g. libxml2). Not something we can/want to support.

pdf-reader 1.3.3

 * New dependencies on unpackaged afm and hashery gems.
 * afm has test failures with normal shoulda. It depends on thoughtbot-shoulda but we don't intend to package that.

pg 0.15.1

 * Fails tests.

pry 0.9.12.2

 * Fails tests.

prawn 0.12.0

 * New release bundles all the components into one gem. Needs to be slotted.
 * Has two failing jruby tests and then hangs indefinitely on the tests.

rake 10.x

 * No longer has ruby18 support, so we can't bump this until ruby18 is gone, or else we'd need very complicated wrappers / eselect support.

redcarpet 3.0.0

 * Fails markdown-related tests.

right_http_connection 1.4.0

 * Not tagged upstream.

rr 1.1.1

 * Missing dependency: appraisal

ruby-augeas 0.5.0

 * Fails to compile (most likely due to our --undefined option).

ruby-mp3info-0.8

 * Test failures with ruby18

ruby-opengl 0.61.0

 * Gem is empty and does not contain any code

ruby-openid 2.2.3

 * Fails tests on ruby19

ruby_parser 3.1.3

 * Many tests fail on ruby18

rye 0.9.8

 * New dependency on docile which is not packaged yet.

shoulda 3.3.2

 * Is now a meta gem that depends on shoulda-context and shoulda-matchers
 * shoulda-context 1.1.1 fails tests.

termcolor 1.2.2
Seems to now use 1.9 syntax:

* Running test phase for ruby18 ... /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `gem_original_require': /tmp/portage/dev-ruby/termcolor-1.2.2/work/ruby18/termcolor-1.2.2/spec/../lib/termcolor.rb:28: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting '=' (SyntaxError) /tmp/portage/dev-ruby/termcolor-1.2.2/work/ruby18/termcolor-1.2.2/spec/../lib/termcolor.rb:44: syntax error, unexpected '>'         tag = ->t{ "" }                  ^ /tmp/portage/dev-ruby/termcolor-1.2.2/work/ruby18/termcolor-1.2.2/spec/../lib/termcolor.rb:47: syntax error, unexpected '>'          tag = ->t{ "" }                  ^ /tmp/portage/dev-ruby/termcolor-1.2.2/work/ruby18/termcolor-1.2.2/spec/../lib/termcolor.rb:108: syntax error, unexpected kEND, expecting $end        from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'        from /tmp/portage/dev-ruby/termcolor-1.2.2/work/ruby18/termcolor-1.2.2/spec/spec_helper.rb:3 from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `gem_original_require' from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require' from /tmp/portage/dev-ruby/termcolor-1.2.2/work/ruby18/termcolor-1.2.2/spec/termcolor_spec.rb:2 from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-core-2.11.1/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:780:in `load' from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-core-2.11.1/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:780:in `load_spec_files' from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-core-2.11.1/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:780:in `map' from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-core-2.11.1/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:780:in `load_spec_files' from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-core-2.11.1/lib/rspec/core/command_line.rb:22:in `run' from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-core-2.11.1/lib/rspec/core/runner.rb:69:in `run' from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-core-2.11.1/lib/rspec/core/runner.rb:8:in `autorun' from /usr/bin/rspec:8 https://github.com/jugyo/termcolor/issues/5

 * thor 0.18.0 fails tests with all ruby versions.
 * thor 0.18.1 not tagged upstream

timecope 0.6.1

 * Fails tests.

nanoc 3.6.3

 * Has additional unspecified tests depending on w3c_validators (unpackaged) and rdoc 4.x (not in the tree yet)
