Jeremy answered the question. Really. Gemfiles are for apps, not for gems. You specify a gem's dependencies through its gemspec. Have a look at all the gems on github or try $ gem specification activemerchant --ruby to get an idea. > I agree with this (your Rails app shouldn't need to know what the > dependencies are for the dependencies you have, Bundler should just > take care of them) and I'm trying to do the same thing. That's what bundler does. It's up to you to declare the dependencies in the appropriate way. For gems that means in a gemspec.
