So what are your chances to install for example Redmine on Fedora?
Bundle everything using Bundler, because Fedora does not provide
multiple versions of Rails.

And I repeat it again and again, rails32-3.2-1, rails40-4.0-1,
rails41-4.1-1 and rails42-4.2-1 packages with all their dependencies are
not way forward. The tooling should support rails-3.2-1 and rails-4.0-1
simultaneous installation, but even the minimal step towards this, i.e.
treet the packages as install only packages and allow the upgrades when
only release is changed  is actively denied by all parties involved in
tooling.

And not going far for example, this [1] ticket was opened just today.
This does not harm anybody, but yet if seems to be problem to have to
versions of rubygem-json.
