I decided to pull out part of the code. Here is my take on the fix:


# Not the best solution in the world (actually far from it probably)
# but it's much less buggy then the current implementation (IMNSHO)
#
# 1.) Fixes a problem where it would think dir.gem is a real gem
#     though not fully, this should really also check the filetype.
# 2.) Fixes a problem where gem2tgz automatically assumes that there
#     can't be other gems with a close to the same name.
# 3.) Uses . instead of :: (obvious >.<)

RUBYGEM_VERSION_REGEX = /\A\s*([0-9]+(\.[0-9a-zA-Z]+)*)*\s*\z/

gemfile = ARGV[0]
if !File.file?(gemfile) && gemfile !~ /\.gem\Z/
  puts "#{gemfile} doesn't seem to exist. Attempting to download it
from RubyGems.org"
  run("gem fetch #{gemfile}")
  gemfile = Dir.glob("#{gemfile}-*.gem").delete_if do |gemname|
    gemname = gemname.gsub(/\.gem\Z/, '').split('-')
    gemversion = gemname.pop
    gemversion !~ RUBYGEM_VERSION_REGEX || gemname.join('-') != gemfile
  end.sort.last
end

I didn't test it beyond the glob against a bunch of pry-0.9.8.*.gem
and pry-vterm_alias-0.*.gem.  I am sticking to my guns that gem2gz and
gem2deb as a whole needs quite a bit of work to be up to par for
production (I know it's already production but meh I hope you get what
I mean)
