Description François Andriot 2014-04-20 11:28:20 CEST

Description of problem:
The development file "ruby.pc" lacks the the "ruby_version" value.
This causes FTBFS for 3rd party programs that needs this variable to check the ruby version using the pkg-config command.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
N/A

How reproducible:
Check file "/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ruby.pc" and look at line "ruby_version=".
You'll notice there is no value at all.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type command "pkg-config ruby --modversion"
2. See there is not output.
3. Manually modify file "/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ruby.pc" and set "ruby_version=2.0.0"
4. Type command "pkg-config ruby --modversion"
5. See there is output "2.0.0"

Comment 1 Pascal Terjan 2014-04-21 19:00:40 CEST

This is probably due to building with--with-ruby-version=

It seems Fedora has a workaround:

Comment 2 Pascal Terjan 2014-04-21 19:23:45 CEST

Fix verified in cauldron:

[pterjan@chopin ruby]$ pkg-config ruby --modversion
2.0.0

Comment 3 Pascal Terjan 2014-04-21 19:25:39 CEST

I have committed the fix in the 4 branch, not sure if this is worth an update or if we can wait for next security one.

Some updates have already been released, containing the fix
