--- Comment #3 from Josef Stribny <jstribny@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
>From your spec file:

```
# URL: http://blog.vava.cn/ # This URL is mentioned in the Gem but doesn't open
URL: https://github.com/janx/chardet
```

The original chardet gem is actually hosted on RubyForge[1] and maintained by
Hui Zheng. The release is from 2006 and I don't see any new development or
updates here.

The URL you are mentioning belongs to chardet2[2], which is pretty new, it's
based on chardet and seems to be maintained.

Apart from that I am unsure whether is chardet Ruby 2.0 ready or not, since I
can see that there is a commit regarding Ruby 2.0 compatibility in chardet2[3].
Fedora 19 will use Ruby 2.0 as a default and it would be pointless to package a
sort-of dead project that wasn't tested on Ruby 2.0 (although backporting of
the above mentioned commit could solve it).

Is there a reason to package this gem? Wouldn't be better to bring chardet2 to
Fedora?
