That relates to the third point. There will definitely be rules for packaging them, but
not in F19, unfortunately. After some discussions with Vit, we have decided that we need
better understanding of extension gems for both implementations and so we would like to
take some more time to do things properly.
As a workaround, you should be able to install nokogiri locally, using
'jgem install nokogiri' or 'gem _jruby_ install'.
Actually we deferred this topic for next release, because there are
multiple cases, such as:
* gem with c and jruby extensions
* only jruby gem
Which creates some weird scenarios and RPM/YUM are not capable enough to
do everything right without compromises :/
