Dan, I've been thinking about this issue recently. It looks like
you're purposefully including Rakefile in asciidoctor.gemspec. What is
the purpose of including Rakefile there?
Thinking about the general problem of gemspec surgery in Fedora
packaging, maybe we should take the approach that we should try to
convince upstream developers to stop shipping the files that we
surgically remove in Fedora. For example:
https://github.com/cjheath/geoip/pull/67
I think this would be an easy sell for the things like .travis.yml or
.gitignore. But if if we can't convince the upstream developers to
drop particular extraneous files from their gems, then maybe we should
give up and include those files in Fedora as well.
