Hi all --

As part of a documentation project I'm working on with the Fedora
Atomic WG, I started packaging asciibinder[1] with the intention of
getting the package into Fedora. Along the way[2], I encountered a
bunch of required, unpackaged dependencies, which would also have to
be added to Fedora.

[1] http://asciibinder.org/
[2] https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jasonbrooks/asciibinder/packages/

It has me wondering whether packaging these gems as rpms is
worthwhile, especially since we'd end up running asciibinder in a
container, anyway.

What are people's thoughts on the value of packaging gems -- it's it
worthwhile, is it somehow UnFedora to not bother to package them?


Also consider that:

1 - your are sure that there is no broken depencies.
2 - when a new version of ruby is available those gems will be verified to work in next mass rebuild.
3 - all available tests as checked in every build.
4 - koshei will inform you new depencies changes.
5 - there will be stable software stack per releaseĀ
