This document outlines the steps to get Gitorious into Fedora and EPEL.

High Level Steps and Issues

Fedora

Get all Gitorious' dependencies into Fedora.
- Several Rubygems.
- Several Javascripts.
Get Gitorious into Fedora.
- Bundler issues: If we use different Gem versions than upstream, Bundler wants to write to Gemfile and Gemfile.lock. We will use bundler_ext to work around this. This will require the bundler_ext gem in Fedora and a lot of testing.
- Init scripts: Create equivalent systemd unit files for Fedora & RHEL 7.
- Ruby version: Upstream "next" branch works with Ruby 1.9.3 and 2.0.0. I'm working with upstream to maintain this compatibility via Jenkins.
- Gem versions: Upstream uses different Gem versions than Fedora has. The biggest difference is Rails, but others are documented below. Plan of attack is to ensure that the test suite passes with both.
- Javascript libs: There are several Git submodules in upstream (bane, capillary-js, raphael, spin.js, others). We must unbundle these and package them separately.
- GeoIP data: Gitorious bundles GeoIP.dat, which is already available in Fedora as the "GeoIP" package.
- FHS considerations: for the Gitorious web application itself, we need to discover how to split up the package to fit the FHS conventions of /etc/, /usr/, and so on.

EPEL

Get all Gitorious's dependencies into EPEL.
- Rails. I don't have experience packaging Rails, and there's been questions about which version to put into EPEL.
- Various Rubygems must be branched for EPEL.
Get Gitorious into EPEL.
- Unfortunately upstream has dropped support for Ruby 1.8, so formal EPEL inclusion can only happen after RHEL 7 is released and EPEL 7 is branched.

Open review requests

Please review some of these. I'm willing to trade reviews.

Gem	Package Review Request
climate_control	RHBZ #1017994
just_paginate	RHBZ #1015261
ruby-openid	RHBZ #1015778
unicorn	RHBZ #786636

Dependency list

- The package is not in Fedora/EPEL
Pass - The package is not in Fedora/EPEL, and I'm unsure how to proceed (lib might be deprecated, etc.)
- The package spec is written, but not yet accepted into Fedora/EPEL
- The package is present in Fedora/EPEL and versions differ from upstream
- The package is present in Fedora/EPEL and versions match upstream

(FYI, the ordering in these tables matches upstream's Gemfile.)
