i dont see how this bug is something rubygems related at all. reemerging
ruby is the way to go. for rpm packaging:
so far i applied patches after gem install. for native extensions of
course it means to rerun "make". luckily that never happened so far.
more import for me would be a hook in rubygems to check if the package
was installed the gems way through another packaging system. so i can
control how gem uninstall behaves when the package is installed through
an rpm.
