Incompatibilities with ruby-json =>2.0

[Unit 193]

ruby-simplesov's spec lists "~> 1.8", while Zesty (and Yakkety) contain ruby-json 2.0, this leads to an error such as: You have already activated json 2.0.1, but your Gemfile requires json 1.8.3. Prepending `bundle exec` to your command may solve this. (Gem::LoadError)

Of course, an even better solution would be to update the package, but since it's after feature freeze I went with a minimal approach.

Thank you for the debdiff. Are you prepared to maintain this delta until we're in sync again please? Or is this package completely broken as-is - I can't tell from your bug description?

As we're in sync at the moment, is there a bug filed in Debian for this please?

> +ruby-simplecov (0.11.1-1ubuntu1) devel; urgency=medium

Shouldn't this be "zesty", or is there some magic in interpreting "devel" I don't know about?

+ * d/p/newer_json.patch: Relax json dep to allow newer versions.

This should close this bug with "(LP: #1666988)".

+ rm -f metadata.yml

What's this for, please? Shouldn't it be mentioned in debian/changelog?

The next Debian upload would likely be a new upstream release, which would fix this, or if we're lucky then they'll upload a patch. It shouldn't be out of sync long.

The package is not entirely broken, no. Just some incompatibilities with another package. I noticed when building another package locally (ruby-trello).

There is currently no bug filed in Debian, yet, but I did ask the team and Antonio Terceiro (last uploader) responded.

Yeah 'devel' is just a 'symlink' to the development release, I've been told it's fine to use and have uploaded stuff to there before. I understand that some of the sponsor tools don't know about it, so I can change that to 'zesty'.

It perhaps should, it just cleans up after the build process.

[Unit 193 (unit193)]

Updated debdiff including the d/changelog fixes as requested.
