[SRU] ruby2.5 FTBFS in Bionic

[Lucas Kanashiro]

[Impact]

The ruby2.5 source package FTBFS in Bionic, therefore, it is not possible to perform any update to benefit our users.

It is failing to build due to a missing build dependency on tzdata.

[Test Case]

Try to build the package in a sbuild Bionic chroot:

$ dget -u https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+sourcefiles/ruby2.5/2.5.1-1ubuntu1.6/ruby2.5_2.5.1-1ubuntu1.6.dsc
$ cd ruby2.5-2.5.1
$ sbuild -d bionic

Those are the test failures: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/Vhcm35TgzJ/

To fix the FTBFS add tzdata as build dependency.

[Regression Potential]

In case there is a regression it could be on a timezone related feature. However, it is very unlikely. The tzdata is not added as a runtime dependency that will be installed in the users' system.

Hello Lucas, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ruby2.5 into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby2.5/2.5.1-1ubuntu1.7 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

[Ubuntu SRU Bot (ubuntu-sru-bot)]

Thank you!

The package in bionic-proposed correctly builds from source now. I did the following to confirm that:

$ dget -u https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+sourcefiles/ruby2.5/2.5.1-1ubuntu1.7/ruby2.5_2.5.1-1ubuntu1.7.dsc
$ sbuild -d bionic ruby2.5_2.5.1-1ubuntu1.7.dsc

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

The verification of the Stable Release Update for ruby2.5 has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

This bug was fixed in the package ruby2.5 - 2.5.1-1ubuntu1.7

---------------
ruby2.5 (2.5.1-1ubuntu1.7) bionic; urgency=medium

  * d/p/arm64-optimizations.patch: enable arm64 optimizations that exist
    for power/x86. It includes enabling unaligned memory access, gc and
    vm_exec.c optimizations (LP: #1901074).
  * Fix FTBFS, many tests were failing during the build (LP: #1903902).
    - Add missing b-d on tzdata.
  * Fix DEP-8 tests (LP: #1903905).
    - Backport patches to fix Kiritimati TZ tests:
      + 0029-Backport-upstream-patch-to-fix-Kiritimati-TZ-test-1-.patch
      + 0030-Backport-upstream-patch-to-fix-Kiritimati-TZ-test-2-.patch
    - d/t/control: add restriction to allow-stderr. The rubyconfig test calls
      dpkg-architecture which is returning a warning in Bionic.
    - d/t/bundled-gems: skip gems which do not match upstream expectations.
      Some gems listed as bundled by upstream are not satisfied by the Ubuntu
      Bionic archive.
