I've made a draft of some packaging guidelines for ruby gems; anyone care to comment or expand them?
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ruby_Gem_Package_Guidelines
Since ruby gems already have a specification file at http://gems.rubyforge.org/yaml I made a gem2arch script [1] which takes the name of the gem and the version as parameters and produces a PKGBUILD. Unfortunately, the yaml does not have any license information, so manual editing is still needed.
Very nice, I've made a similar script, but it doesn't respect that naming convention and ignores dependencies, thanks a lot! My script can be found at http://p.ramaze.net/19811 - but I'll go through your library and see what we can improve. Rubyforge keeps track of the license, so for gems hosted there we might be able to query that. -- ^ manveru
