Nothing online yet, but I can work on that. For ruby-1.9.1 for el5, you're 
looking at the feature-el5-ruby-1.9.1 repository, possibly including the 
feature-el5-ruby-1.9.1-updates variant.

I haven't really been able to set up the complete infrastructure yet (GPG 
signing, updates management, dist-cvs/dist-git), but I'm working on it.
