[Mageia-dev] about ruby updates and some broken dependancies

Hi
+To Funda
+
+I'm always impressed by the huge work you do for Mageia...
+
+There's a little problem with ruby updates in Cauldron : as shikamaru is
+always the official maintainer you may not be advertised of this :
+http://check.mageia.org/cauldron/shikamaru/dependencies.html
+
+indeed, in cauldron repository we have coexisting ruby-*-doc packages as
+if the last update, with noarch suffix, has not obsoleted the last  old
+version of some doc rpm which didn't have the noarch suffix:
+for instance
+ruby-BlueCloth-doc-2.2.0-3.mga3         remains besides
+ruby-BlueCloth-doc-2.2.0-4.mga3.noarch
+
+Perhaps  sysadmin will have to remove  some ruby-*-doc rpm  if they
+don't explicitely have mga3.noarch extension
+
+here is a list of few examples of rpm that have to be  removed in 586
+and x86_64 repositories :
+ruby-atk-doc-1.0.3-1.mga2
+ruby-BlueCloth-doc-2.2.0-3.mga3
+ruby-curb-doc-0.7.15-1.mga1
+ruby-eventmachine-doc-0.12.10-3.mga1
+
+we can explore the whole repo or simply use
+http://check.mageia.org/cauldron/shikamaru/dependencies.html
+to get the list
+
+Same for some other non doc rpms
+ruby-em-http-request-0.3.0-1.mga1 remains besides
+ruby-em-http-request-1.0.3-2.mga3.noarch
+
+Hope this will help to decrease the number of "broken dependancies" (at
+least 60  will be resolved...)
+
+Regards to Funda and sysadmins
+
+Philippe
