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?

Having them packaged as RPM ensures their licenses have been checked and binaries are built from sources.
I'm +1 for having them packaged.
