rgem2rpm

rgem2rpm is a gem to make a rpm package out of a .gem file. The intent is to provide a minimal and flexible way to easily package a gem into an rpm. With this done you can use all the facilities provided by Linux Red Hat systems to manage your ruby software.

rgem2rpm provides a sane set of out-of-the box defaults that should allow most gem files to assemble and Just Work. Currently maintained by Sergio Freire (sergio-s-freire at ptinovacao.pt), rgem2rpm was originally developed by Joao Peixoto and hosted at https://github.com/jppeixoto/rgem2rpm.
