Just noting that my "rubygem based rawhide packages stats" [1] script
is assuming that these srpms are named as rubygem-foo (and the base gem file
is uploaded on rubygems.org). It is simple that
if the pkgs is created basing on gem file, we simply name it as rubygem-foo.
You can add "Provides: deltacloudd = foo" or even create empty subpackage
if you want.
