Hi everybody! Since in the last weeks there has been quite some talking about RubyGems and the way both Debian [1] and Gentoo [2] find its packaging system sub-standard, I'd like to involve all the Ruby packagers from the various distribution in working on some document regarding these issues. I've slowly started writing up a "Ruby Packaging Specification" describing for now the issues and then providing guidelines on how to prepare upstream packages that can be quickly packaged by vendors without pain. The draft which for now only contains some structure and one Gentoo-derived issue, is available at http://www.flameeyes.eu/rps/rps.xhtml and the GIT repository for it is at git://git.flameeyes.eu/flameeyes/rps.git . I've chosen GIT+DocBook 5 because I sincerely find a Wiki to be a bit too volatile for some more substantial documentation about the issue, and would like to have a track of who adds what and similar, but that's obviously open to discussion. If you're on this list but you're not a Ruby packager, may I ask you to forward this to your Ruby team or Ruby maintainer so that we can get as many people as possible involved? Finding a common ground is most likely to bring results here. Thanks to everybody!
