Hi Shawn,

No we don't, but I can throw a few points here, what I am typically doing.

1) Replace the BR: rubygem(rspec) => BR: rubygem(rspec-core). Typically 
I add above some comment like "# Use rspec-core until rspec are not 
migrated to RSpec 2.x" just to remember.
2) Use command "rspec spec/" in your check section. This typically 
replaces similar call for RSpec 1.x, which was "spec spec/"
3) Now you have to check that the test suite passes. If not, you have to 
make it compatible and submit patch upstream. Usually it is not required 
and it will just work. However sometime it needs more effort. Recent 
example might be rubygem-little-plugger [1]. You can see that the patch 
is very simple and was easily accepted by upstream.

Thats it. In the future, once all gems are RSpec 2.x ready, the 
rubygem-rspec package should be migrated from RSpec 1.x to RSpec 2.x and 
from that time, it will be possible to use again the rubygem(rspec) 
provider.
