"!=" ruby requirement on gem gets translated to "<" AND ">" which can never be true?

[jordimassaguerpla]

rdiscount-2.1.7.1.gem has this requirements (from the metadata in the gem file):

required_ruby_version: !ruby/object:Gem::Requirement requirements:

• - '!='
  • !ruby/object:Gem::Version version: 1.9.2

note the "!=" operator

which gets translated, into the spec file, as:

BuildRequires: %{rubydevel < 1.9.2} BuildRequires: %{rubydevel > 1.9.2}

which, when building, produces the error:

unresolvable: nothing provides ruby2.1-devel < 1.9.2

This looks like an error to me

[jordimassaguerpla]

which should be the translation of "!=" ? In this case I don't think should be "<" AND ">" ... shoudn't it?

Is there other cases to consider a part from this case where the actual code is right?

I've not found a test case for this so I can't know ....

[jordimassaguerpla]

what about:

Conflicts: ruby = 1.9.2

This is was in the spec file before running g2r .

won't help with buildrequires

[darix]

for Buildrequires we can kinda just ignore it.

[jordimassaguerpla]

Then what should I do? is the requirement operator"!=" correctly translated to "<" AND ">"? Or should I translated that to a "Conflicts" instead of a "Requirement"?

[coolo]

Do we have a current example? Because BuildConflicts exists as well.
