fedora

Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora 29 upgrades Python to version 3.7.2 introducing numerous vulnerability patches and key library modifications.

Summary

Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy

object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text

files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple,

straight-forward, and extensible.

* Rebase to Ruby 2.5.1. * Several CVE fixes. * Conflict requirement needs to

generate dependency. * Stop using --with-setjmp-type=setjmp on aarch64.
