Hey, I'm working on packaging ruby-aws (gems for interfacing with Amazon Web Services [1]). I do have a few questions about packaging it: 1. Because of the nature of aws, a few tests require internet access and AWS account (+ generated AWS key). During the first run of those tests, user is asked to interactively provide his/her key (it the user agrees, it will be stored in .aws directory) and declare if he/she'd like to use colors in console. Those tests can be disabled by setting an ENV variable. When those on-line test are disabled, interactive configuration is also skipped. Is it OK to skip them? 2. I assume that 'patching out rubygems'[2] simply means quilting them out? ;) 3. During test run, a log file is generated. That means that after each debuild (that includes running tests) I need to manually remove it or it fails mentioning changed files. Is that OK or should I disable it? Thanks for help! :) Regards, T.
