I don't think it's right decision to ban redmine from Fedora because it's
upstream doesn't port it to the latest rails immediately after it gets
released. I'm not ruby/rails expert but in my opinion situation when redmine
(or other rails project) depends on older rails and you want new rails in
distro before redmine gets ported, you can create rails-compat package with old
rails and update the main rails pkg. There are many examples of this approach
in distro (gtk2/gtk3, qt3/qt and various .*compat.* packages with their latest
counterparts). Or is not possible to have two packages of rails same time in
Fedora without package collections?
