ruby-mysql2 package is prepared

[Michael Franzl <michaelfranzl@gmx.at>]

Hello,

I'm rather new to Debian packaging but plowed my way through, more or 
less, through all documents and initial difficulties of setting up a 
working build system.

I have decided to package the mysql2 gem (using gem2deb) since a Debian 
package didn't exist yet.

It builds sucessfully and I have tested it in my Rails application, 
which is also already a Debian package, having no dependencies on 
rubygems any more :) I could't use the existing ruby-mysql gem, since it 
apparently doesn't support UTF8 and is slower than mysql2.

I've filed an ITP bug report here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=691150

What is the next step if I want to make this package available to the 
Debian system?

Michael
