4.4.2 release?

[caiobsilva]

I'm having some issues upgrading an application I'm working on to Ruby 3.2.0:

An error occurred while installing ovirt-engine-sdk (4.4.1), and Bundler cannot continue.

In Gemfile:
  fog was resolved to 2.3.0, which depends on
    fog-ovirt was resolved to 2.0.2, which depends on
      ovirt-engine-sdk

That is due to a deprecated call on the gem:

ov_http_request.c:347:77: error: ‘rb_cData’ undeclared (first use in this function)
  347 |     ov_http_request_class = rb_define_class_under(ov_module, "HttpRequest", rb_cData);

I see that this is fixed on #3, but the last update on RubyGems is dated from February 23, 2021. Are there any plans to update the package in there? Can I do something to help?

ruby sdk is not actively developed anymore. We used to use it internally for integration with manageiq but we've stopped that few years ago and since then there were not many users for sdk

I don't know what it takes to update it TBH, @oliel is it easy enough to just release current master?

[caiobsilva]

It seems to me that the master branch already has the needed changes. You would just have to release it as a package, and it would be greatly appreciated :raised_hands:

Gui is the only Ruby SDK maintainer at the moment, he is the only who has required knowledge.

I was able to get 4.4.1 to install with the following:

gem install ovirt-engine-sdk:4.4.1 -- --with-cflags=-Drb_cData=rb_cObject

Hello! Any update on this? This is blocking updating to ruby 3.2.0

[caiobsilva]

I've since opted to drop the fog gem from my project, instead using fog-aws. Relevant issue on the fog repo: https://github.com/fog/fog/issues/4034

Ping on this one, it's blocking backup gem from supporting anything newer than Ruby 3.1.4.

I was able to install the gem by adding the following to my .bundle/config file:

BUNDLE_BUILD__OVIRT___ENGINE___SDK: "--with-cflags=-Drb_cData=rb_cObject"

Foreman (and thus Satellite) also uses this gem. We're a bit slow to update our Ruby version, but if there's no new release then we will drop oVirt support.

@mwperina @didib @santos1709 Since the fix is already merged (#3), could anyone please issue release 4.4.2? It's probably not a big deal and would tremendously help folks that are still using oVirt. Thanks :smiling_face_with_tear:

I've tried resurrect CI and provide necessary fixes to do a release, so here is a new release: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk-ruby/releases/tag/4.6.0 But we don't have anyone in the former oVirt team with Ruby knowledge, so I cannot verify if the release works fine. Also this version is not yet uploaded to rubygems.org, trying to get required permissions.

[mwperina]

oVirt Ruby SDK 4.6.0 was released to rubygems.org: https://rubygems.org/gems/ovirt-engine-sdk/versions/4.6.0

@mwperina THANK YOU! :+1: Much appreciated. :smile:
