Updated build/specs for ruby-1.9.3

What is this spec?

Forked from imeyer's ruby-1.9.2-rpm project at https://github.com/imeyer/ruby-1.9.2-rpm and updated for 1.9.3.

This spec is an attempt to push for a stable replacement of Ruby 1.8.x with 1.9.2+ on RHEL based systems. The original author based it off of the work of FrameOS specs for Ruby 1.9.2 and Ruby Enterprise Edition.

How to install

yum install -y rpm-build rpmdevtools

What it does

  • Builds
  • Installs
  • Overwrites/upgrades your currently installed ruby package (DANGEROUS)
  • Includes rubygems

What it does not do

  • Split packages into ruby-libs, ruby-devel, etc (looking for help here)
  • Install alongside Ruby 1.8.x

Distro support

Tested upstream working on:

  • RHEL 5.6 x86_64

  • RHEL 6 x86_64

  • RHEL 6.1 x86_64

  • RHEL 6.1 i686

  • CentOS 5.6 x86_64
