hi, I will start with sort introduction before I come to the topic. My name is Aditya Prakash. I am second year CSE student at NIT Durgapur <http://www.nitdgp.ac.in/>, India. I am working on GlitterGallery <https://github.com/glittergallery/GlitterGallery> webapp (in rails) under GSoC.
Today in fedora-infra meetting, Kushal mentioned that it is important that whatever gem I use, I should make sure that it comes as rpm package. Good people of ruby-sig have already build packages of many popular gems (link here <http://www.isitfedoraruby.com/>). Unfortunately, there are still many gems which aren't available on rawhide and there are others which aren't upto date with upstream. ex: guard <https://github.com/guard/guard>, cancancan <https://github.com/CanCanCommunity/cancancan>, capybara-webkit <https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit>, omniauth-facebook <https://github.com/mkdynamic/omniauth-facebook>, haml-lint <https://github.com/brigade/haml-lint>, rubocop <https://github.com/bbatsov/rubocop> etc. My guess is that atleast 50 gems from my gemlist.lock file would need packaging or update. However, GlitterGalley is not an app app but it is a web app. What I am trying to say is that main purpose of of GG is that it is hosted on cloud somewhere and people will use to from web-browsers. How important it is that gems I am using have rpm available? A good amount of development time will be wasted in packaging if this is a requirement. Also, how important it is that rpm package are available for ruby gems in general? In name of being a ruby developer and part of fedora community I would like to package a few important ones. Thank you.
