Please use syntax other interpreters do:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl?rd=Packaging/Perl#Perl_Requires_and_Provides
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:PHP?rd=Packaging/PHP#Requires_and_Provides
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:OCaml?rd=Packaging/OCaml#Requires_and_provides

i.e. use rubygem(foo), not rubygem-foo.
