Upgrade to 2.1.9 and improve

Open UnitedMarsupials-zz opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

The patch I have improves things as follows:

  • Upgrade to 2.1.9 -- supposedly, the last 2.1.x release ever.
  • Switches from .tar.gz to .tar.xz -- the tarball is about 1/3 smaller.
  • Separates /usr/share/doc and /usr/share/ri into a sub-package of its own (ruby-doc-2.1.9) -- people, who need, documentation can install it, but it is not needed on most servers.
  • Removes tcl-devel from the build-requirement -- as long a Tk is explicitly disabled, there is no need for Tcl either.
  • Runs bundled self-tests as %check.
  • Uses simply %{version} instead of %{rubyver}.
  • Adds rybygem-json to both Provides and Obsoletes -- whatever other RPMs require the gem, will now be satisfied.
