I recommend setting it to the appropriate entry from `gem env`s platform
section:
Plain ruby has this:
- RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
- ruby
- universal-darwin-10
Rubinius has a rubinius-specific platform:
- RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
- ruby
- x86_64-darwin-10
- x86_64-rubinius-1.2
Setting it to just "ruboto" will not do what you think:
$ ruby19 -e 'p Gem::Platform.new "ruboto"'
#<Gem::Platform:0x81066824 @cpu=nil, @os="unknown", @version=nil>
Usually you want to set the platform to Gem::Platform::CURRENT but that will
only work when you're building the gem on the same platform the gem will run on.
… I can help you best with the output of `gem env` from ruboto.
