Helo,

I'm new to Fedora Ruby group, but as Fedora user and Ruby follower,  I could not agree more with John.

most tutorials recommend installing rails and other packages using gem - 
and since they change often, I'm not too sure what the value is of 
trying to supply Fedora packages for the gems.  In fact using the Fedora 
gem packages might just mess things up especially between 1.8.6 and 
1.9.1 because of the different way each handles gems.

 From our standpoint, we've always just loaded ruby via the Fedora 
packages and then everything via gems.  This has been both easy and has 
worked well.  I think it is better to forget making Fedora packages of 
the gems and concentrate on packages for the various Ruby language 
versions - just my $.02
