Hello.
I don't know rubygem-passenger at all and only tried to write a spec file
for this package very quickly (so I don't know how/if my spec file works),
however I guess my quick draft can be useful:
http://mtasaka.fedorapeople.org/rubygem_specs/rubygem-passenger.spec
! note:
Currently this spec file makes many rpmlint errors or warnings but
I just wrote this spec file quickly and didn't try to suppress these
messages.
! note 2:
Also please refer to the current discussion about rubygems with C code:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2008-November/msg00000.html
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Mtasaka/PackagingDrafts/RubyGem_with_...
I guess ruby-devel or so is missing from BuildRequires and perhaps
some more fixes are needed....
