Hi Steve,

Actually we rebuild almost all packages, which we were rebuildable. 
Unfortunately, libprelude is one of the packages which is on our 
"blacklist". It seems that the Ruby binding needs some love, i.e. 
adaptation for Ruby 1.9.3. Also, it seems that the upstream is dead. Is 
that right? You'll know it better I hope ;)

Regarding the needed changes, this [2] is libprellude git repo with 
modified .spec file, however, I am afraid that it is not enough. The 
magic macros you have discussed later with Toshio are defined in 
/etc/rpm/ruby.macros and provided by ruby-devel package, so you don't 
have to define them manually in each package anymore.
