[DRE-maint] Bug#620253: Packaging rails 3.x

[Ondřej Surý]

Package: rails
Severity: normal

Hi,

this is just an informational email about status of Rails 3
in the Debian.

As we need to keep the Rails 2.3 framework in the Debian
because of it's dependendencies (mainly Redmine).  I have
created versioned packages from Rails 2.3 (ruby-rails-2.3,
ruby-activeresource-2.3, etc.).  This allows us to upload
Rails 3 packages simultaneously into the archive.  However
with Rails 3.1 already in the RC phase it doesn't really
make sense to have 2.3, 3.0 and 3.1 in the archive, so I
am skipping the 3.0 and I will package 3.1.rcX into the
experimental suite and upload in into the unstable when
it will go gold.

O.
