Hello. Now I am trying to see one of the review requests based on rubygems: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=652400 (This review request of just one example for rubygem related packages) Rebuilding the srpm in this review ticket produces boxgrinder-build-0.6.4.gemspec under /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications (this directory is normal for .gemspec file) which contains: --------------------------------------------------------- s.add_runtime_dependency(%q<commander>, ["~> 4.0.3"]) s.add_runtime_dependency(%q<boxgrinder-core>, ["~> 0.1.3"]) --------------------------------------------------------- Here "~> 4.0.3" means ">= 4.0.3 but < 4.1" ("~>" often appears in rubygems). So in rpm spec world, this is interpreted as: --------------------------------------------------------- Requires: rubygem(commander) >= 4.0.3 Requires: rubygem(commander) < 4.1 Requires: rubygem(boxgrinder-core) >= 0.1.3 Requires; rubygem(boxgrinder-core) < 0.2 --------------------------------------------------------- This is technically correct, however it seems that currently Fedora packaging guideline mentions about higher version dependency (e.g. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Explicit_Requires ) and I am not sure that it is allowed on Fedora to write dependency for lower version. Any comments are appreciated. By the way, currently the highest version of the upstream one is: commander: 4.0.3 boxgrinder-core: 0.1.3 Regards, Mamoru -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
