Does anyone have example spec files for the new standrds for doing
native gems? I am trying to follow the guidelines about not installing
in the %build section, but most spec files I see still do that.
Thanks in advance.

BTW.. Spec files are like JCL.. no one writes them from scatch :)

IIRC, Mamoru came up with that - so any of his[1] rubygem-* packages are
prime candidates for an example ;)

Sounds gem2rpm needs a facelift to assist with this - any volunteers for
a patch ?

FWIW.. I do not understand the value of doing the gem-install earlier.
Since the spec says to do an install and then copy everything, it seems
obtuse.

This is what I came up with:

IIRC, the main reason was that if you just do gem install in %install,
it's next to impossible to patch a gem. There were a couple of cases
where that led to serious gymnastics in the specfile.

Ok... I am sure there was a valid reason.. but it was not clear from the
standards. THanks!
