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A irregularly updated list of pending ruby version bumps for the main tree can be found here: outdated-gems.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!

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, virtus), ruby_speech

ammeter 1.0.0

 * Tests no longer run and seem to require database connection out of the box.

barby 0.6.1

 * Not tagged upstream, gem does not contain gemspec which we need to modify.

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.

blankslate 3.1.3

 * Fails tests

bundler 1.6.2

 * Requires unreleased rspec 3

capistrano 3.2.1

 * Depends on unpackaged sshkit

capybara 2.4.1

 * Fails tests related to newly introduced code.

coolio-1.2.4

 * Fails tests intermittently.

dalli 2.7.2

 * Tests crash ruby 1.9 and ruby 2.0.

dep_selector 1.0.3

 * Has new dependency dep-selector-libgecode

directory_watcher 1.5.1

 * Specs seem to hang indefinitely.

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

facter 2.0.1

 * Fails tests

gettext_i18n_rails 1.0.5

 * Fails tests

gherkin 2.12.2

 * New dependency on ruby-beautify which fails its specs: https://github.com/erniebrodeur/ruby-beautify/issues/2
 * Even with ruby-beautify installed many gherkin specs fail with ruby20 (but pass with ruby19).

hashie 2.1.1

 * Fails tests.

hike 2.1.3

 * Not tagged upstream and gem does not contain tests.

hitimes 1.2.2

 * Requires rspec 3.x

jruby-openssl 0.8.4

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

kramdown 1.3.3

 * Depends on prawn 0.13 for tests

launchy 2.4.2

 * Fails tests.

mechanize 2.7.3

 * Fails tests.

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.

multi_xml 0.5.5

 * Fails tests without dev-ruby/ox, but also fails when it is installed, in a different way.

net-ssh 2.9.1

 * Fails tests due to new cipher aliases.

nokogiri 1.6.2.1

 * Fails tests (most likely due to not supporting libxml 2.9).
 * No longer compatible with jruby 1.6

open4 1.3.4

 * Has otherwise unspecified "test_case" requirement and it's not clear which gem provides this.

origin 2.1.1

 * Depends on unrelease rspec 3.

prawn 1.0.0

 * Three tests failing (ascii/utf8)
 * 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.

rdoc 4.1.1

 * Fails jruby tests and we cannot drop jruby for this package due to dependencies.

rgen 0.7.0

 * Fails tests

right_http_connection 1.4.0

 * Not tagged upstream.

ruby-progressbar 1.5.1

 * Requires unreleased rspec 3

rubyzip 1.1.6

 * Fails tests, most likely because our hardlinked copy is no longer pristine.

sanitize 3.0.0

 * New dependencies on crass and nokogumbo

seed_fu 2.3.1

 * Specs fails with rails 4.0 due to use of attr_protected without including the gem for it.

shoulda-context 1.2.1

 * Test suite now requires Appraisal (or at least a specific test bundle gemfile).

stomp 1.3.3

 * Fails tests.

syntax 1.2.0

 * Gem no longer has test suite and upstream git is not tagged for releases.
 * Tagged: https://github.com/dblock/syntax/archive/v1.2.0.tar.gz
 * Tests fail

thor 0.18.1 (in tree)

 * Fails tests with JRuby: https://github.com/wycats/thor/issues/236

nanoc 3.6.11

 * Has tests depending on w3c_validators and vcr (unpackaged)
