redmine : Depends: ruby-rack (>= 1.4.0) but 1.3.5-1 is to be installed

Looks like 1.3.2+dfsg1-1 was uploaded yesterday[1] with a hard requirement for ruby-rack (>= 1.4.0).

[1] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/redmine/1.3.2+dfsg1-1

So I synced this but missed the dependency. I can try to fix this, but it won't be until next week. If someone wants to fix this in the meantime, that is ok by me. Sorry for the bug.

How do you see fixing this? I don't have a problem doing the work if you say how you want it fixed.

The easiest would be to sync ruby-rack. Please check the output of the reverse-depends and reverse-build-depends output (seems very doable overall-- might need a couple other syncs though). Other than that seeing if redmine actually needs this dependency, and if not adjusting it.

Hi,

I bumped into this issue, and lowering the ruby-rack dependencies fixed the issue for me.
The redmine wiki also lists a much lower rack version dependency(Rack 1.1.x for 1.3.x and even for trunk) than 1.4.0, so I guess it would be safe to fix that in the control file.
see http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineInstall

hi,

According to doc/INSTALL, rack 1.1.2 is ok, so someone should check with Debian maintainer why he bumped dependency on 1.4 in latest upload.

Otherwise, we could downgrade the required version to > 1.1.2

My 2 cents.

Please at least read redmine 1.3.2+dfsg1-1 changelog !

Hi,

I read it, but stopped at the "Explicit dependency on ruby-rake >= 1.4.0" sentence, as I was expecting the explanation in the same sentence, not in the patch section.

Anyway, does it mean that we could reenable 1014_logout_cookie_rake.patch, lower the dependency and avoid the sync of ruby-rack 1.4?

Thanks,
Fabrice

Well changelogs cannot be perfect every time...

If i remember well, you can do that and it will work.

Actually, the patch is not required since ruby-rack 1.3.2 as the fix has been commited in 1.3 branch (https://github.com/rack/rack/commit/5f75258c2469977fd534a68ce98be0c255871176) and delivered in 1.3.2 zip.
Uploading a updated package with a lower required version.

This bug was fixed in the package redmine - 1.3.2+dfsg1-1ubuntu1

"Please at least read redmine ... changelog !"
that backfired :/

Tyrael, what is the problem? I don't see anything in docs/CHANGELOG in redmine for versions 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 that suggests there would be a problem.

Tyrael, I guess that comment was directed at me.
