It involves standing up a Fedora RubyGem server and forking bundler so that we can tie it into yum. Whenever you install a gem package, gem actually calls yum and grabs the gem-rpms from our server. We could have gem2rpm spit out a src rpm that we can feed to brew (for the gems that require compilation) and all others are just noarch. That way we can still develop in "the ruby way" but do it all with RPMS. This idea still needs fleshing out, mind you, but I think it is worth looking at.

Interesting idea, but as Vita said later in the thread - RPMs are a must.

Thanks for tips!
