Hi Christian, Here's a reasonable means of going about building 1.9.3 RPMs on cent5/6 https://github.com/imeyer/ruby-1.9.3-rpm I've stubbed out the sub packages in this PR: https://github.com/imeyer/ruby-1.9.3-rpm/pull/16 the sub-packages don't actually do anything, but don't require changes to

Hey Gang, Longtime listener, first time caller…. I had a funny idea last night. I've thought it through a bit, and _I_ still think it has merit, but not fully formed… then again, I am accustomed to being wrong. So, I was thinking about how multiple realizations of the same virtual file with diff
