So it is what the upstream says and I don't think that packagers from other distributions would help us. For example, people from Debian/Ubuntu install Gems under /var/lib/gems [2], which doesn't really make sense to us. What we really need is a support of Ruby developers, not packagers. We are still working in the issue and hopefully, we will come up with something that would be acceptable by Rubygems developers. -- Regards, Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda.
