I know that both result to the same thing (if I remember correctly I had asked Vit about this in IRC), but I have forgotten their real difference.
My attention got caught by a comment Josef made in one of his reviews [0], saying that rubygem-foo is the new syntax. If that's the case, I would like to propose 2 changes:
a) A reference in the wiki b) An implementation for gem2rpm
I guess b) could be fairly easy by changing the templates.
By starting with these steps, there will be a push to use the new syntax from now on. What do you think?
