--- Comment #21 from Moses Mendoza <moses@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
I don't think it should be split into two packages or renamed, but I agree this
is a gray area. My interpretation (please correct me if I'm mistaken) of the
ruby naming guidelines is that if a package is and only is a library/extension
package, then it should be named ruby-$UPSTREAM (as opposed to "mostly is" a
library). In that sense, Hiera shouldn't be named ruby-hiera because it is not
explicitly a library only - it provides a user-level tool also. But it is
primarily a library, in that, anecdotally at least, most users use it that way
and not as a standalone application, so it's not really explicitly an
"Application" either, and it would probably be less appropriate if it was
packaged as such. My two cents is that hiera should probably qualify as a 'pure
ruby package,' and %{ruby_vendorlibdir} is appropriate. As for splitting into
two packages, I also think it's overkill. However, it would ensure that when
packages such as puppet bring in hiera for a dependency, they only have to
bring in the library and not the binary. But I personally feel this is a
sledge-hammer to fly kind of solution and that the current setup is fairly
sane.
