Hi guys,

have you made any progress with the rails package?  I have interest in
this application, but since I saw you working on it I haven't put much
time into a package.
Yes. I will release something soon. (After I finish another software project I'm working on). We are talking day or two :)

On the mailing list I saw two or three people working on rubygems
packages, but from what I saw there isn't even a concensus on what the
package should be called, even less about what it should do.

Care to shed some light on this?
Rails will not use ruby gems - it will be a native Debian package :).

Maybe I'm not familiar with the way Perl works, but rails is a complete framework. It is not a bunch of libraries that can be used to do whatever. It is a highly integrated framework that becomes part of each web application. If you are looking just for a bunch of loose libraries, then PHP is a great tool.
