Hi! Thank you for your answer. I thought this might be the right place in case there was a need to define a new platform or OS for RubyGems.
I am a developer in the Ruboto project. We seek information on how to enable users of Ruboto to both relase Ruboto-specific gems and comsume gems in Ruboto projects. I was unable to find a mailing list for RubyGems users. I will ask in ruby-lang, then. My apologies for the noise.
