Hello, I would like to consult/contribute about the ports for Redmine and Ruby Gems.
I am fully aware of the problems surrounding Gems version >1.6.2 and Redmine (which became broken because of this), but I have a need to keep on using Redmine in my environment, and have no constraints in keeping on using older versions of Gems. Therefore, I developped my own port for Redmine 1.3, and the rubytree Gem, and made it available here : - http://www.yomi.darkbsd.org/~darksoul/redmine/OpenBSD/ - http://www.yomi.darkbsd.org/~darksoul/redmine/OpenBSD/ports-redmine-rubytree.tar.gz (I am aware that the latest ports tree has a very recent version of Gems, while the 5.0 ports tree still has Ruby Gems 1.3.7 and therefore works without any problem) This is basically something one can untar in an existing /usr/ports for their own purposes, but this is as one can guess, kind of suboptimal, and it would be better for everyone, if it could be integrated in the global ports tree. So I have the following questions : - Are there any plans for supporting older versions of Gems in the ports? - If so, could we have several versions of gems and dependencies registered in the software ? (For instance, redmine would install ruby gems 1.6.2 if none was installed, but become BROKEN if a superior version was installed) I also plan on porting Redmine plugins in the future. If there is a problem due to a lack of time maintaining the concerned ports, I am willing to provide my time and help.
