Did you manage to figure anything out? There's a Ruby program that I'd
like to package and use but I have no idea where to even start: I'm
definitely not a Ruby user! Here's what the gemspec file shows in case
it's relevant:
s.required_ruby_version = ">=1.9.3"
s.add_runtime_dependency("gtk2", "~> 2.2.0")
s.add_runtime_dependency("httpclient", ">=2.2.6")
s.add_runtime_dependency("json")
s.add_runtime_dependency("nokogiri", ">=1.4.0")
s.add_runtime_dependency("nori", "~> 2.4.0")
s.requirements << 'unzip and unrar packages for archive extracting.'
