Are you sure about that? I only have

Requires: ruby(abi) = 1.8

in my spec (which is for 1.1.1 though)
I don't think it actually requires ruby-libs, but the way I figure, they're going to need the ruby stdlib if they're going to actually install most gems.  Better to set up the expectation in advance, IMO.


  

    
Source0: %{name}-%{version}.tgz

I think naming both licenses is correct here:

License: Ruby License/GPL

  

  

    
BuildPreReq: ruby >= 1.8.5, ruby-libs >= 1.8.5
    

  

  

Hmmm. Why PreReq?

I have BuildRequires: ruby, ruby-irb, ruby-rdoc in my spec.

  



Because I forgot the syntax for BuildRequires

Ruby Gems
    

  

  

RubyGems is the Ruby standard for publishing and managing third party
libraries.

Yours is a tad short :)

  

  

    
cd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
rm -rf %{buildroot}
    

  

  

Hmmm. Either or, I think. Not both in one spec file :)
  





good idea.



  
I also have a wad of rubygems which are packaged and should be published
somewhere (like a complete rails 2.1 environment, mod_passenger and other
stuff).

Cheers,

Ralph
  



we could put them up on github or I could host a publically available
subver repo for ruby gem rpms, or something.  It would be nice to have
a central repo for exactly this kind of stuff.   I wonder how hard it
would be to do a gem2rpm script, like perl has with cpan2rpm.
