        Hi all --

        As part of a documentation project I'm working on with the Fedora
        Atomic WG, I started packaging asciibinder[1] with the
        intention of
        getting the package into Fedora. Along the way[2], I encountered a
        bunch of required, unpackaged dependencies, which would also
        have to
        be added to Fedora.

        [1] http://asciibinder.org/
        [2]
        
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jasonbrooks/asciibinder/packages/
        
<https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jasonbrooks/asciibinder/packages/>

        It has me wondering whether packaging these gems as rpms is
        worthwhile, especially since we'd end up running asciibinder in a
        container, anyway.

        What are people's thoughts on the value of packaging gems --
        it's it
        worthwhile, is it somehow UnFedora to not bother to package them?



Also consider that:

1 - your are sure that there is no broken depencies.
2 - when a new version of ruby is available those gems will be verified to work in next mass rebuild.
3 - all available tests as checked in every build.
4 - koshei will inform you new depencies changes.
5 - there will be stable software stack per release

Are you making these points in favor of, or against, creating rpm packages of gems?
