I just released a Fedora based virtual appliance w/ a Ruby 1.9.1 based rpm stack. To get there I managed to get ruby-shadow to compile against Ruby 1.9.1, released updated rubygems and rubygem-rake packages compatible w/ Ruby 1.9 (they are just empty packages now which depend on Ruby, as Ruby 1.9 ships w/ gem & rake), and pushed alot of updates to my polisher and polisher-scripts projects.

All updated rpms were built in mock against the Ruby 1.9 rpm, so when you run a ruby-gnome app for example, your running against the latest gnome2 lib that ships w/ Fedora as well as the Ruby 1.9 libraries.
To start the appliance, simply extract the tarball and run "sudo virt-image polisher-devel.xml". Then simply bring up virt-manager for graphical access to the vm.
Many thanks to all on this list for all the work so far which I leveraged to build this appliance. There is alot more todo, I want to eventually get every Ruby project in Fedora built against 1.9.1, and try to get a Ruby 1.8.7 appliance up and running, but this should help anyone looking to start running software against a native Fedora/Ruby 1.9.1 stack.
Can we have the sources somewhere, and would it be possible to collaborate through one or the other koji instance?
