gemspec

Hi Debian Ruby team,

I'm working on packaging Facebook watchman https://facebook.github.io/watchman/ https://github.com/facebook/watchman

It is basically an Autotools-based C project but within a subdirectory ruby/ruby-watchman are Rakefile and .gemspec which allow me

1. to run "rake make" to build ruby-watchman/ext.so and

2. to run "rake build" to generate ruby-watchman.gem

but I don't know how to proceed from here (how to "install" the built ext.so somewhere under $(CURDIR)/debian/ruby-watchman , perhaps... Specifically, I'm not knowledgeable about versioned directory names)

I tried to run

$ DH_RUBY_GEMSPEC=ruby/ruby-watchman/ruby-watchman.gemspec dh_ruby --build

and

$ cd ruby/ruby-watchman; DH_RUBY_GEMSPEC=ruby-watchman.gemspec dh_ruby --build

but apparently no action took place.

Also, should I consider installing the .gem file for each of ruby2.1 and 2.2 returned by "dh_ruby --print-supported" ? I have no prior experience in Ruby packaging.

Thanks in advance,

Kai
