Redmine

Some of the gems required by Redmine are ancient. For example, these are the highest versions available given the gem matching pattern versus the latest version of the package available:

• request_store 1.0.5 (1.3.2);
• roadie-rails 1.1.1 (1.2.1);
• nokogiri 1.7.2 (1.8.0);
• i18n 0.7.0 (0.8.4);
• ffi 1.9.14 (1.9.18);
• net-ldap 0.12.1 (0.16.0);
• ruby-openid 2.3.0 (2.7.0);
• pg 0.18.4 (0.21.0);
• tiny_tds 1.0.5 (1.3.0);
• rdoc 4.3.0 (5.1.0);
• simplecov 0.9.2 (0.14.1);
• test_after_commit 0.4.2 (1.1.0);
• selenium-webdriver 2.53.4 (3.4.3);

Updating these would make Redmine easier to maintain in various package systems. As it stands, we'd have to package these old versions of gems just to have Redmine in the package system. That's not ideal, as it requires double the maintenance for those gems, tracking security vulnerabilities in old versions too, etc.
