From Fedora Project Wiki

Proposal

isitfedoraruby.com is a web-application built with Ruby on Rails, that keeps track of the Fedora/Ruby integration, especially gem -> rpm conversion.

The project was started on 2012 as a Google Summer Of Code project by User:Zuhao and later were added some new features during the Google Code In program. This is my idea of enhancing it from a packager's point of view.

An overview of your proposal

isitfedoraduby is a nice project that never got the attention it deserved. I believe this is because it serves merely as a portal of the gems packaged for Fedora, showing their statuses and some nice statistics and graphs.

Being a packager myself for almost a year now, I am familiar with the difficulties one has to overcome in order to package a gem. This idea aims to facilitate the packaging process by providing some new tools and promote the site among Fedora ruby packagers.

In particular, I have in mind to:

  • refactor the base code where needed
  • write rspec tests
  • enhance the gemfile_tool
  • implement a feature of gem/app packaging progress bar
  • show better formatted dependency checker
  • create a page with stats preview of a gem not yet packaged
  • use polisher gem where needed

I will try to expand below each item.
