should i start packaging the 2nd, what about the first? (confused)
If I'm understanding it correctly, it seems that the upstream graphviz
source provides some wrappers for various languages, including ruby
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/graphviz/F-13/graphviz.spec?view...
Where as the ruby-graphviz gem provides a pure-ruby implementation of
some of this functionality (the specifics of which I'm not sure)
http://github.com/glejeune/Ruby-Graphviz
This appeared on adopting rubygem-state_machine (testing it):
$ ruby unit/state_test.rb
Skipping GraphViz StateMachine::State tests. `gem install ruby-graphviz`
>= v0.9.0 and try again.
...
Then i tried the existing rpm [1] without luck for state_machine, the i
tried the gem version [2], which fixes the output warning.
I imagine rubygem-state_machine depends on the ruby-graphiz modules and
api, or if it doesn't it at least has a gem dependency listed for that.
Most likely the best way to proceed is to package the
rubygem-ruby-graphviz dependency, or perhaps you can get away with
patching state_machine to work against graphviz-ruby (though this is
less desirable incase of API discrepancies).
