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 (I can always isolate Redmine in a FreeBSD jail, and avoid impacting the global system). Therefore, I developped my own port for Redmine 1.3 and Ruby Gems 1.6.2, and made it available here : - http://www.yomi.darkbsd.org/~darksoul/redmine/FreeBSD/ - http://www.yomi.darkbsd.org/~darksoul/redmine/FreeBSD/ports-redmine-rubygems.tar.gz This is basically something I can untar in an existing /usr/ports for my 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) - http://www.yomi.darkbsd.org/~darksoul/redmine/FreeBSD/ports-redmine-ldap-sync.tar.gz I also ported the LDAP Sync plugin, which is extremely useful used in conjunction with the HTTP Auth plugin and apache's mod_auth_kerb. I also plan on creating ports for other Redmine plugins in the near future, so I would like to inquire about the proper policy for porting plugins. So far, I stuck to what had been done for the redmine-http_auth plug-in. If there is a problem due to a lack of time maintaining the concerned ports, I am willing to provide my time and help.
