As a next step, I would like to adjust gem2rpm-opensuse to generate spec files accordingly. If we decide to use this in d:l:r:e, we hopefully can get away with that buildroot patch eventually.
I'm sure there's a lot of room for improvement, so what do you think?

Hi Sascha,
I find the current way also highly unpractical and yours is much more in line with how other stuff is packaged, so I welcome your patches.
But I would leave out the rubygems package from it. I suggest to maintain all macros in the ruby package and provide a ruby-macros backport package for older distros just as we did with perl-macros in devel:languages:perl. Yep, in the meantime I found out that much happened during my vacation regarding our Ruby packages ;-) Your idea sounds reasonable, so if nobody objects here, I'll proceed as Stephan recommended.
The rubygems package is dead for ruby 1.9 and as such you would need two places to maintain the macros anyway, so better maintain a 100% copy. The macros do not change that often. Agreed -- Viele Grüße, Sascha Peilicke
