python script
Are you serious? A Python script for Ruby gems?! But seriously, a great idea and an even better scripting language choice.
Oh dear oh dear; that won't do at all. Who can seriously *want* to use Python? (Just teasing, people!)
I can't help much with Python code, but I might be able to help with a Ruby implementation. I suspect rubygems probably has some code we could hook into to make things easier, actually.
The PKGBUILDs would be pretty trivial, I think; I wonder if it's even worth flooding AUR with them. I like the idea of a proper [rubygems] repository, containing repackaged gem files, or simply having them appear in [community].
The [rubygems] repo was my first idea too. But at the moment i have no access to an arch server to build the packages and provide the repo. I dont want to build them on my local machine and rsync the packages. Hmm.. i will figure out what makepkg actually needs to build the gem packages. Does it call pacman, when i call it with -d? This would a problem in my case.
I'm generally pretty happy using rubygems for system-wide gems, though. It doesn't bother me too much.
