Hi Vit,
You are correct, on the packages that I fixed up I haven't been doing
that.  I wasn't doing it because I still have to maintain several gems
across the Fedora's and EPEL.
I looked at your scripts (very nice by the way) and then at the
documentation,[2] to try to figure out the clearest, easiest way to have
it work on both, and I had a surprise.
Did something happen to the documentation?
I would have sworn it had something on %gem_install, but now I can't
find it at all.
