Can't download Passenger native support

[theblackhole]

Hello,

The redmine:passenger image doesn't work : it can't download passenger 5.0.30 because the urls are unreachable.
I also tried on my pc and it's the same : 404 for the first one and 403 for the mirror.

Edit : it seems like the latest available version of rubyext-ruby is 2.2.3 not 2.2.5 : https://oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com/binaries/passenger/by_release/5.0.30/

That looks like passenger 5 does not support the latest version of ruby 2.2 (2.2.5). 😢 Though it looks like 5.0.x has never supported Ruby 2.2: https://blog.phusion.nl/2015/03/04/phusion-passenger-5-0-1-released/#minimumrailsversionisnow23.

@tianon and I think that we'll bump to Ruby 2.3 for Redmine 3.3 and then downgrade to passenger 4 for 3.2 and 3.1`.

Hi ! Sorry I was wrong, after investigation, the native support isn't required for passenger to work. 😄
So after fixing some problems on my host config, redmine:passenger does work fine and without this binary.
Apparently there is just a tiny performance decrease without it : https://solidfoundationwebdev.com/blog/posts/error-skipping-compiling-of-passenger_native_support-so-with-passenger.

Btw, in the link you've provided, they are talking about rails 2.3 not ruby 2.3 😉

Also, I've tried targeting ruby 2.2.3 directly since it's the latest version available : theblackhole/redmine@03ad48d
But some libraries are missing (I have added them on the apt section of the Dockerfile but it wasn't enough) (sorry I've not committed all the tests on my fork because this was a huge mess 😆 and then I've resolved my config issue).

Interesting how this was solved. I'll may try that if I have the time.

Oh I see... silly me. 😞

Regardless of my apparent lack of comprehension, do you think we should change the versions as I described? Or maybe target a more specific version of ruby?

[theblackhole]

Sorry I'm not a ruby expert but I will answer the best as I can ^^

Right now, if we doesn't solve this low priority issue with the native extension (by targeting a more specific version + doing something to fix these .so libraries issue), it think it isn't needed to target a more specific version to work well.
However since redmine 3.3 supports ruby 2.3 I think it's harmless to bump to 2.3 for this version.
Also, I don't think a downgrade is required for redmine < 3.3 because the 3.x branch uses rails 4.2. So it fits the passenger requirement (rails > 2.3) ( #headache #SoManySimilarVersions xD )

Closing old issue. I don't see anything actionable.
