Re: [Fedora-packaging] Ruby interpreter independence needs more work

Since limited interpreter independence is a goal of the new guideline (limited to rubygems), there needs to be more work done ironing out a few details of that: * It seems that the ruby(abi) Provides is only in ruby-libs; not in jruby{,-libs}. That means that an end user wanting to use jruby and having only rubygems installed still needs to have ruby-libs installed (because of the dep on ruby(abi).) Is this intentional? * There needs to be more information about jruby and other alternate interpreters. In particular, the path macros for the jruby non-gem packages need to be added. * I took a guess that non-gem packages should have separate subpackages for each interpreter since the thought is that rubygems can handle multiple interpreters but non-gem requires cannot. Further, I guessed that they should be named INTERPRETER-module, for instance, jruby-rpm. The answer to whether jruby should Provide ruby(abi) is no, we also need to specify what non-gem packages for other packages should require (for instance, jruby(abi) = %{jruby_abi}). If the answer is yes, we may still need to add new Requires for non-gem packages so that they are only associated with the correct interpreter (however, we might not need to have matching Provides... we might be able to just use package name for this) -Toshio
