I am considering a PR by Vít Ondruch for cucumber-messages[1] that would build rubygem-cucumber-messages as a subpackage rather than maintaining it as a separate source package. I am generally inclined to favor the proposal, but it seems to me that it represents an exception to the “MUST” requirement to package RubyGem libraries from the released gem archives. I’ve therefore raised the issue on the Fedora Packaging Committee tracker[3]. The purpose of this email is to raise visibility of that issue among Ruby packagers, and to solicit input from knowledgeable and interested parties.
